So if your status changes to application processing than they have already looked through everything, and there will be no problems?
No, I have been in training all week and can't call them. No letter as of today. I will be able to call on Thursday if I don't receive their letter on Wednesday. I'm bummed.
Cheer up, big guy! I'm sure that this is only a hiccup. I suspect that once you've spoken directly with DPS, you'll be able to sort it all out in a reasonable amount of time. We'll all get the plastic eventually, dude!

Of course, if you're actually an escaped convict or a documented sociopath, then I'm afraid that you'll be out of luck! That said, I'm gonna take a guess, and presume that you're a "good citizen." ;-)
...documented...well...just kidding! No, it says missing information so it is some dumb clerical error, but I can't figure out what it would be. It will be OK though. I have made it this far without CHL, another week won't make that much difference. I keep reminding myself that I put off the CHL class a month because I had something else I wanted to do. So 30 days is on me anyway. :smile:

Well, no letter today. I will call tomorrow. I bought a new S&W 642 to make myself feel better! I think it will make a nice summer carry gun.

badkarma: hopefully the status will show "issued" around the 20th this month. The only thing I am worried about is the fingerprint rejection, because they put "best obtainable prints" on my card. BTW I took the class at TopGun, great instructor but the guy from HPD doing the prints didn't impress me much.

good luck with DPS glock19

No luck required. I called and was told only that an affidavit was incomplete. I received the letter today. The AUTHORIZATION FOR RELEASE OF RECORDS AFFIDAVIT has six places to initial. I only initialed five. I must have stopped and then did not go back to it. I knew none of that stuff applied to me and just got in too big of a hurry. Anyway it is back on it's way to Austin on overnight delivery. We will see how much delay this causes me. The turn around will be about a week, so we can see how mine progresses compared to Sig!

Thanks, Sig. As you may know from my posts, I tend to be suspicious about this whole fingerprint rejection "issue"...it seems to jam-up a bunch of folks. Hopefully, the "best available" label will help you avoid any print-related delays.

Glock19, When did you do the course at Top Gun? The HPD guy seemed adequate for the task, but who knows, right?

I did not take my course at Top Gun, I took mine at one day CHL. It was July 14th.

My mistake, Glock19, my wires were temporarily crossed! :crazy: I caught my error after-the-fact.

I heard good things about One Day CHL, what did you think of your experience?
