Application submitted 12/31/15
Fingerprints 1/5/16
LTC class 1/16/16
Forms mailed 1/19/16
Confirmed documents received (via phone) Sent to printing (?) 3/1/16
Online status page changed 3/7/16
License received 3/9/16

50 days
Probably more like 48 days considering I mailed my final documents.

Clean record & prior security clearances.

I'm out of the Waiting Room. I hope this encourages everyone to see that, maybe, they are processing late Jan. apps.
Good luck everyone.

Congrats Sig!! But still, I had everything in to DPS 12/28 and still nothing. I hope they finish December Apps before they finish January.

If they are that backlogged due to the number of applications isn't it time to get a few more people? Surely the extra income from all of these apps can justify a bit of a budget increase for more resources.

IIRC, the RSD is limited by statute to a specific number of employees.

Oh great. Yet again someone all in after me and they have plastic in hand. I thought this forum was supposed to make us feel better?

Don't shoot the messenger, I was only posting my wait time.
I, too, think anything beyond 30 days is excessive.
I can only assume that my application was approved and printed in 50 days because of previous security clearances.
It's the state bureaucracy, there is no formula that I can see.
Good luck everyone.

In the meantime I may consider applying for a license in a different state who has an agreement with Texas. I was in a forum yesterday and people were talking about how it's $25-75 for an LTC in a bunch of other states, no mandatory class, and it took less than 2-3 weeks to get approved. This is getting nuts.

I bet $50 I could get an out of state license before I see my Texas one. :banghead:
