If the DPS is doing the background checks for the individual counties, why are some counties consistently slower than others?

Assuming DPS took the full 30 days to get my stuff to the counties in question, those counties have had 42 days to do something you are saying can be a one day job.

Today will be day 72. Still waiting. I mailed it 9/4, they received it 9/5 (according to them), and still I wait. It gets rough seeing these guys get through in 45 days, I tell you.

Called and asked again today. They are still waiting on the background information. There is nothing wrong with me, she said. Maybe late this week, she said.

I asked if the county of residence had anything to do with the amount of time it takes, she said yes, absolutely, it has everything to do with it.

FWIW they had to check Wmsn and Travis counties for me.

I don't know about being backed up. I've seen plenty of people who sent in their stuff after me get their permits already, some in as little as 40-45 days.

It might have more to do with where we live....

Guess I'll call again today.

I called last week (on day 61) and was told they are "completing the background check" and could expect the license early this week. Nothing missing, nothing wrong, just waiting.

Early this week is over tomorrow. I guess I'll call back then.
