Day 147 Still "Processing Application"

140 days since turning the packet in at the DPS office in Austin in person,...

Still "Processing Application" today.

App hand delivered to Austin office 4/13. No issues, clean BG.

I expected more celebrations! :

I must be right behind you!

Check my .sig for another comparison. My wife and I took the class together, I sent the applications in at the same time, we both went to "Processing Application" on the same day.... the Harris County bg check is the only difference.

I've been told that the DPS office in Austin received my completed bg check this past Monday, though, and that they'd be sending it to print on Tuesday, so hopefully the waiting game is almost over.

Looks like she got hers exceedingly fast! Going by that it looks like DPS has actually slowed down between the 1'st and the 13'th!

and welcome to the forum

since you've been lurking here for a while , you are probably familiar with a few of us .
im the one who usually keeps to myself , mostly i just read .

With 10.79 posts per day! :) I think you win the most anxious award!

I know I have to be getting close, I'm trying to figure out what to carry when/if it ever arrives.

First post though I have been lurking for a long time. I thought I'd chime in with some good news.

My SO received her plastic today. Dont know too many more details around the process as she hasn't been watching her application as closely as I have but here is what I can tell you:

Turned in to DPS office in person 4/13. (both of us)
Plastic arrived today 7/24 (for hers)

(not sure how many days that it but it's probably close to 100)

She did NOT require a Harris Co background check but mine does so I fully expected to see hers first. This will actually be a good comparison of Harris / non-Harris because we both took the same class, have a clean background, and turned them in at the exact same time in the DPS office in Austin. Neither of us had any issues with our application (good fp's and pictures, etc). Neither of us have called anyone to inquire about our apps.

We can see a side-by-side comparison of the two now.
