If processing times continue to improve like they seem to be, someone might have to start a "+60 day thread." Wouldn't that be nice?

As of today I am now at 102 days. I don't know if this is due to the indiscretions of my youth, or just the glue like slowness of the bureaucracy. Either way they keep saying it’s the local background check that is slowing things down. Hooray Hidalgo county!

One of the reps aides said he called DPS and was first told that there was some disqualifying info, but then DPS said that was an error on their part, and that they were sending the approved application for printing. Said I should receive in about 2 weeks. I had called DPS myself last week and was told that "something came up on my background check". Didn't say what the problem was. (I had a misdemeanor DWI back in 1990, but disclosed all info on the app). Got transferred to the rep that was supposedly handling my app. and of course got voice mail....left a msg. and never heard anything. Website still shows "processing application". Does it change to something else when it gets sent to printing?

Hope the 2 week deal is correct.

Cautiously optimistic? We'll see.
