I did my daily check this morning not expecting any change and much to my surprise: Application Completed - license issued or certificate active!!

I'm still here. As of today (24 February) they've had it for 98 days. I had to redo my fingerprints, but it's been 62 days since they received the new prints.
I sure could understand it if I had a record, but I haven't even had a traffic ticket and I've lived in the same county since 2001. I reckon I'll sit here and wait patiently and it'll get finished eventually

I'm still waiting. As of today (12 February), 86 days from the start and 50 days since I re-submitted my fingerprints. This has been a test of patience.

Still waiting here too. They told me that the 60 days reset when I had to resubmit my finger prints and it looks like they are going to take it to the limit (hopefully not longer). The second 60 days should be up on 24 February.

I sent an email to my state Senator who then contacted DPS. DPS told them that since my fingerprints were returned and resubmitted that the process starts all over and the 60 day counter starts from the day that they received the updated fingerprint cards.
Looks like I'm in for a long wait.

Well, my new fingerprint cards were delivered this morning. I went to Waco and used the Integrated Biometric Technology (IBT) Fingerprinting location there so they should be good this time. The holidays will delay me a few days, but it shouldn't be too much longer!!

Online it still shows my status as "Processing Application", but I got the big envelope in the mail today with new fingerprint cards. So I'll be going to get them re-done Monday. Looking at other folks progress this shouldn't cause too much of a delay except that I'll be sending the cards in right during the Christmas holiday break.

"The data you have submitted indicates you may not be eligible for this service. Please verify the data submitted is correct. If you still cannot proceed, please contact DPS at 1-800-224-5744 or email chl@txdps.state.tx.us for more information."

I don't know what is going on with them...I guess I'll give them a call tomorrow morning and see whats up.

I got the same message when I tried checking my status from my mobile device. It probably didn't like the password or something. I never got it when I checked the status using my computer. I'd give it another shot.

Finally, after three weeks my new status is "Processing Application"!! Now the really looong wait is ahead.

I found this forum about week ago and there is a ton of information here.
I took my class on 15 November and mailed it on Austin on Monday, 17 November. They received it at 06.32 on Tuesday, 18 November. As of now my status is still: "Packet Mailed to Applicant".
I know it'll be a long wait, but I reckon that gives me time to shop around for a new weapon :)
