After an inquiry from Rep. Taylor's office, the DPS called me yesterday. I spoke with a very nice lady who told me the FBI check is done and they are only waiting for local checks to be completed. She also said the license has been printed and it's in the file (she actually had her hands on it) and they should be ready to mail by as early as next week.
It seems that because so many are contacting their representatives or the Governor's office, they are getting more personnel to help process applications. She thought it a good thing that people are calling their reps for help.

I was quite surprised that Rep. Taylor's office responded to my e-mail the very next day.
According to his aid, I should expect to hear from the DPS next week. 
I won't hold my breath, but if our reps hear from enough of us maybe something will be done to improve the service we receive from those fine folks at the DPS!

Re: Should I email my rep (100+ days and counting)?
I mailed my application package to DPS on March 28.
It was entered into the system on April 9, so they have had it about 90 days now.
I sent an e-mail to my state Rep yesterday afternoon. One of his aids replied this afternoon:

I'm unsure whether it will speed the process, but I also think it's important for our elected representatives to be made aware of the length of time it takes for DPS to process these applications.Thank you for contacting Rep. Taylor's office with your concerns about the delay in processing your concealed handgun license application. Your thoughts and concerns are of great value to Rep. Taylor.
I will be contacting DPS on your behalf and requesting that they look into this matter and the status of your application. If you are not contacted by DPS soon, please let me know.
Thank you again for contacting Rep. Taylor. If you have any other thoughts or concerns in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Cameron Slack Bradley
Executive Assistant
