Thanks,

It won't matter what you do and when until you have everything in. I was told by DPS that things move faster when you turn everything in at one time and not at different times. I wouldn't expect anything to change until you submit your class cert.

I have called DPS and was told they have everything they need, but I can't figure out why its taking so long. I am a Veteran and have held a secret security clearance (which I got faster than this). No arrests/felonies, clean record and moved only a few times in the military... I know I haven't given it 60 days, but it seems like most right now are within 30-40 days. Should I call again or is this normal?

I plan on calling back in a couple days and asking other than things on my end what are some possible issues that can slow it down. I have a friend who is convinced it has to do with counties where background checks are being done, he says that some counties are notorious for sitting on them . I'm not sure where he got this info or if it is the case what can be done. I have another friend taking his class Friday,guess we will see how his goes as well. If we do go over 60 then what? Are we just supposed to keep waiting? Maybe this can be both our week!
Tell your friend to submit everything at one time. Fill out the application and submit every document in one sitting. I was told by DPS this allows things to go a lot faster. I submitted things as I got them, so that is one reason mine is taking longer. I have read that DPS can extend up to 180 for further review... I pray it does not come to that.

No Record at all
Class 12-23
APP 12-27
Fingerprints 12-29

Still showing Background and print pending.

But here is the kicker, got a friend that went 3 weeks after I did to his class and then the next day his app and prints. ...His is in the mail. That's 13 days and his says mailed... While I'm glad for him ,it's pretty frustrating. I did call and was told some just take longer than others.
It won't make you feel any better, but I had everything submitted on 12-10 and my 60 day mark is next week... I called DPS on Friday and was told if I don't see anything change by the 60 day mark to call back... I asked what was going to be done that can't be done right now, and I was told "I should just be optimistic"...

Class: dec 9
Application/Submitting paperwork electronically: Dec 11
Fingerprints: Dec 12
Status change "Print Pending": Jan 24

I got mag extensions and a custom kydex holster made and delivered in this time and am pumped to get them in my pants in public.
Congrats to all who had waited 100+ days to get theirs and not go insane enough to have it revoked :lol:
Looks like we are on about the same timeline. Hopefully that means I go "print pending" or mailed soon any day now!

You need to upload the form they gave you from the class you took.
The form is called the "LTC-100". I scanned mine into a PDF file and attached that.
Finally a couple days ago I got the status green with all checkmatks except the Reviewing Prints and Background Check. I guessing by next week they should wrap it up.
Good luck, my background check has been "under review" for 6 weeks now. Clean record; I have only had a speeding ticket at this point in my life. I have moved a few times in the past 10 years being in the military, but I can't see any of that making it take so long. Calling DPS is about as useful as an automated message too.

Took LTC class 01\06\18 and uploaded class paperwork that day.
Received email stating they had received my upload on 01\09\18.
The Website status check does not show any of this.
How long does it normally take for the webpage to show anything?
I just get LICENSE APPLICATION STATUS: If you have a pending License to Carry a Handgun application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required. Once the application and documents have been received by Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page.

Today the website shows background check complete print pending!
That's crazy fast! I have been in "Background Check: Under Review" for over a month now... I swear something is lost, but everything is "just processing" according to DPS. I was also told by DPS on the phone, applicants that submit all documentation at the same time will go faster. Would have been nice to know...
