6/6....Application rec'd in Austin
8/21 ... Application Completed

Congrats!

Isn't that actually 76 days? Don't mean to split hairs, but you're upsetting the people still waiting in the April and May threads

Odd question for you - did you check your status yesterday? If so, was it still at "Processing Application"? Reason I ask is cause I've noticed a trend of Wednesdays being the day of the week most people go active (Application Completed - etc). They only send out the online app paperwork on Thursdays, so it's not a stretch to think that they also have a system for updating the status page.

May I ask how many counties you listed as place of residence on the application? I've lived in Lubbock, Wichita and Collin. Wondering if that is going to slow down processing.

Thanks for the congrats

Counties for residence: Denton and Tarrant
Work: Dallas

Was talking to the ex-wife the other day (she just put in for her CHL) about how we are both glad we didn't have to list the residence in the sticks that we had lived - the courthouse was smaller than most 2 family houses - probably would've added to the wait significantly.

DPS is really catching up with the backlog I think...decided to check my status today at work (which I almost never do) to make sure there wasn't an "application incomplete" status there. Really didn't expect to have it say, "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active".



Now for the daily mailbox checking to begin...

Number of days from receipt of app to completion: 71
Number of calls to DPS or letters to politicians: 0
(not meant to rub anyone's nose in it - just feel lucky that I didn't suffer a lot of the agonizing complications I've read about here)

Hang in there guys - looks like they are taking care of us June folks finally!
