Here is what I have found out about the process from my own experience. Calling the handgun license number is pretty much pointless. You will not get any answers from them because I believe they really don't know what's going on with your process. I submitted all my paperwork and received confirmation on February 10th. Like many I called once a week and got the same answer of we just have to wait for the process. When I reached my 60th day a called again and was told that the clock doesn't start till they actually open your application. This is completely wrong. It clearly says 60 days from the time the complete application was submitted or received ( confirmation email). I decided to look up my state rep for the county I live in and sent their office an email asking why I was being with held my constitutional right. The next day their office called and said they would look into it. Surprisingly dps manager called me that afternoon to tell me they were being held up from an arrest when I was 12 years old for battery that was wrongly documented as a felony but was actually a class a misdemeanor . She did not how ever have an answer as to why I was not sent a letter by mail saying they needed more info as it states that needs to be sent out within the 60 day period. Honestly seemed like they threw my app in the corner untouched. Long story short I made a few calls and had the reports needed in about half a day. It blows my mind that an investigator could not have done this considering all I did was make a few calls. Anyways my recommendation to anyone waiting is to get past your 60days and get on top of your state rep. They are elected by you to work for you and is the fastest way to get answers. There is no telling when I would have finally been notified about this issue with out pushing them on this.

So they pulled up a felony on your record? You had a felony on your record without even knowing it? How were you able to get a job, buy a firearm, etc. this whole time?

Submitted application: 4/10/2017
Fingerprints: 4/11/2017
Submitted supporting documents to RSD same day as fingerprints: 4/11/2017
Receipt of supporting documents from RSD: 4/12/2017

It's been one week, I checked this morning, but nothing has changed yet on the site. It only gives the generic application answer. About how long does it take until the detailed status list appears?

I waited about a week and called dps and they looked it up and acknowledged it so it would come up online.

My status screen changed today, and the detailed status list appeared as attached below. Everything is green except for fingerprints and background check, which both say under review. I find this odd that my fingerprints say 'under review', as others have said theirs turned green as 'received' when their statuses appeared. Also, the 60 day clock should officially start from today correct? I wonder about how long it will take since I have one arrest on my record from nearly 10 years ago, even though it is not disqualifying. I made sure to also include a certified disposition as part of my supporting documents. Does this seem correct in the attachment of my status below that my fingerprints haven't turned green yet and say 'under review' along with my background check? Also, the 60 day clock officially begins today correct? I sent in the certified disposition along with my supporting documents hoping that it should speed things up somewhat. Any advice or experiences on how long it took to process with having one misdemeanor on your record? Keep in my mind that I sent in a certified disposition with my supporting documents, so they should have it also. The wait is really killing me! I appreciate and look forward to everyone's feedback. Thank you.
