pin recieved 3/27/09.
been in processing ever since and waiting patienly or inpatient however u want describe it. well i work offshore and just got an email from wife that fingerprint rejection letter came along with new cards. now i was on day 75 and got fingerprints rejected. is this normal? it will be 2 weeks before i can get home to get them redone, then have to mail them back to austin, then go thru the background phase again with new prints? am i assuming this correctly, so i can add 3-4 more months of waiting? ps im no where close to harris county, but my company headqtrs is in Houston, so on application i had to list this as my job, even though i fly to n.orleans every 2 weeks to catch a helo offshore. i never get close to houston, so will this throw be behind somemore. very frustrated right now, if they are going reject something shouldnt it happen earlier in the process? not until ur 2 plus months out. why does tx make it so difficult to get a chl. im ex leo, so i know i have a good set of prints on file, why cant they just use those. well thanks for letting me vent. look forward to visiting on here when i can.

received and complete

Wow, that was quick! Why so much quicker than some of the rest of us?

She called DPS and said would get the ball rolling on things! We'll see what happens! I'm not so sure Senator Van de Putte is pro-gun or even pro chl for that matter, but hopefully this will light a small fire under DPS to get my license to me a little quicker. Anyone else in the san antonio area get their CHL recently??

If you have something wrong , like finger prints or pictures, the clock resets when you send the corrected items back in.

So reset to 60 days

The Municipal Court can't show that I was given a ticket in the first place, or that my charges were dismissed) I provided my description of the incident along with a certified letter from the court saying that they lost all records for Class C Misdemeanors prior to 2005.

Today I check it and to my dismay...."Application Incomplete. Sending detail letter".

CRAP! I did everything exactly as told and I have a clean record (never been arrested or involved in anything). So now I'm wondering WHAT was overlooked. They sure didn't care that it was incomplete when they cashed my check last month, LOL!
