I totally agree. If I were you I would definately be at least sending Charles' stock letter. I know that things are backed up in Harris, Galveston & Brazoria counties but that is totally too long.joe817 wrote:Oh good grief. There's no excuse for that kind of hold up!

It's time to start the emailing and telephone campaign to your state rep, senator, and governor's office.
Sorry your wait has been so long. Oh! that's just plumb ridiculous!

Re: February Applications
Cool, does that mean they discount weekends and holidays when it comes to 30 days for renewing your driver's license?HARRIS COUNTY CHL wrote:Of the 165 days, there were 2 national holidays plus multiple weekends which should be deleated in final consideration and counting.
No? Didn't think so, so I am not discounting them for this either. It doesn't say business daysMany congrats on the CHL. Sorry it took so long .... but at least you have it in hand.

Re: February Applications
If it were me I would send another set in. The local police should be able to do them for you at a cost of about $10, then I would send them certified mail as a priority ship.
The reason for the two week delay is anyone's guess. I could tell you what my guess is but then my view is somewhat clouded.

Re: February Applications
Oh I think you should definately call them and ask.
My experience is that if something is missing they may not even tell you!

Re: February Applications
I hear what you are saying and I certainly understand the standpoint. I know it shouldn't cause any problems but you never can tell. Personally I am going to sit tight and wait at least 100 days before I even consider starting to contact them. As I am only on day 30 something so I have a way to go yet.
It is pretty sad that we are even having a discussion about these things, even sadder when you consider that the laws are there for a reason and nobody should be above them, not even the law itself!

Re: February Applications
I don't believe you can just quote that little snippet without having read the full statute which readsTexas Solo wrote:I don't think I'd push the issue, given the highlighted part.rs3texas wrote:According to DPS statutes, don't they have 60 days to approve, deny, or at least give notice as to why licenses haven't been issued? Wouldn't those still waiting after 90 days be automatically denied if the DPS fails to notify them?
Those still waiting deserve answers, and if I were still waiting, I'd darn sure be calling someone requesting status in writing.
(c) Failure of the department to issue or deny a license for a period
of more than 30 days after the department is required to act under
Subsection (b) constitutes denial.[/b][/i]
So if they don't issue because of someone 'pestering' I would imagine that was considered "capricious orISSUANCE OR DENIAL OF UCENSE. (a) The
department shall issue a license to cany a concealed handgun to an
applicant if the applicant meets all the eligibility requirements and
submits all the application materials. The department may issue a
license to cany handguns only of the categories indicated on the applicant's
certificate of proficiency issued under Section 411.189. The
department shall administer the licensing procedures in good faith so
that any applicant who meets all the eligibility requirements and
submits all the application materials shall receive a license. The
department may not deny an application on the basis of a capricious or
arbitrary decision by the department.
(b) The department shall, not later than the 60th day after the date
of the receipt by the director's designee of the completed application
materials:
(1) issue the license;
(2) notify the applicant in writing that the application was denied:
(A) on the grounds that the applicant failed to qualify under the
criteria listed in Section 411.172;
(B) based on the affidavit of the director's designee submitted
to the department under Section 411.176(b); or
(C) based on the affidavit of the qualified handgun instructor
submitted to the department under Section 411.189(c); or
(3) notify the applicant in writing that the department is unable to
make a determination regarding the issuance or denial of a license to
the applicant within the 60-day period prescribed by this subsection
and include in that notification an explanation of the reason for the
inability and an estimation of the amount of time the department will
need to make the determination.
(c) Failure of the department to issue or deny a license for a period
of more than 30 days after the department is required to act under
Subsection (b) constitutes denial.
(d) A license issued under this subchapter is effective from the date
of issuance.
arbitrary decision by the department." wouldn't it?
As a side question....when does the clock start? When the certified mail is delivered? When the DPS cash the check/money order? When you get the pin? Some other time? Thoughts?
