I said "its nice the background check is finally done" to which DPS said "no, we have not received the background check back, but we did not want to wait any longer." That seems to be a little change from past S.O.P. Maybe the September 1 legislative changes are either making DPS try to catch up, or they are starting to implement some of it early.

makes sense... seems a lot of people had their apps approved today... anyone else notice it?

The actual arrest was a misdemeanor that I pled guilty to being a Youthful Offender too and yes, because I'm honest and stupid I put it on the application - I didn't want them to have a reason to deny me (lying on application).
Of course since the City of Decatur, County of Morgan, and the State of Alabama did what they were suppose to and destroyed all records of my "juvenile misdemeanor offense" when I turned 21, I bet this CHL license process is going to be a fun one.
I sent in all the records my lawyer sent me and a copy of my current FFL License. Hopefully, that should expedite this process a bit.
I have a feeling this is going to be a loonnngggg wait!

I guess it worked They received the information regarding the arrest "they" questioned last Thursday along with my 03 FFL. I also emailed the director Saturday (and CC'd the Governor's Chief of Staff) a response to his email to me about why it was taking soo long to process my application (basically typical DPS talk) and included information regarding my 03 FFL. There is no way they could have checked out ALL the information I sent them in the short amount of time since (it had to be the FFL and the email to the director that cleared me). This morning I received a phone call from the tech that has been "dealing with me" regularly and she told me that my application was completed and it should take no more than a week to further print and deliver my license (my thoughts are more like two).
Anyway, it'll crack day 140, but hopefully the end is in sight. If you haven't, email your representatives (although mine were a bust) and it wouldn't hurt to email the Governor's office. Explain the law, your rights, and DPS not allowing you the right to protect your family as granted by the State of Texas. Be respectful, but firm (I was going to start cranky and demanding this Friday).
