Any news yet?texas1234 wrote:I am in the middle of finding out the exact process taking place in Harris County.
Talked to DPS this morning and the only thing they are waiting on is Harris County.
I have called field office after field office and nobody has an answer to the process of what a field office has to do to fufill a background check.
Not to fear by the end of this day I will know exactly what pile in what Field Office my background check is sitting and exactly every ounce of paper work that goes into a background check for Harris County.
I am on a mission for all Harris County applicants.
Here is an example. My application was mailed perfect no errors, I have lived in the same house for five years, had the same job for five years, and I have absolutely no criminal record, i served my country honorably, dont owe any child support or taxes.
So that tells me this is absoutely the fault of Harris County.
I applied online and talked to DPS when they started processing mine. She said the fingerprints and background check went out on the same day which was the day mine turned to Processing Application. They don't start anything until the day it turns to Processing.MBGuy wrote:I think the law has that renewals shouldn't take longer than 45 days, while new apps shouldn't take longer than 90. If they actually have seperate renewal and new piles of apps, I don't know.
I'm also thinking that maybe applying online first gets the background check done, whereas if you do it all at the same time by using the instructors package you lose that headstart.
But I'm just guessing.....
