She also stated to me that they have pulled people from "other divisions" of DPS to help process these applications and that they have hired some temp workers as well. They are also working 7 day weeks now until they are caught up and they are offering other dept. personnel overtime hours if they want to stay an additional 4 hours a day to assist with them. I think they are doing their best and it is very frustrating that some people are getting their stuff processed faster than others. When I asked her about this… as I was ALL IN on the 28th of January, she didn't have an explanation for this but stated that they are trying to be fair and keep things in order and are trying their best to get these things processed. She gave me her direct # and told me to give them a week and to call her back for another update if I would like. She also confirmed that my background check had already been complete but until my application was actually input into the computer system, (which it has not been yet), that nothing else could be done with it at this point. So I will try to get another update from her this time next week.

Hope this helps some.


What state employees working 7 days a week?
wow I hope this is true

I'm surprised you got this much info from them every time I call I get the 12 week run around and no more info

I got a call yesterday from a manager at RSD telling me that everything was done and I should have my card in 7 to 10 days... I told him I got the same call acouple days earlier from a different manager telling me the same thing... still no card, still no status change on their website...

I was all in 1/13/16...

I know they are working hard but come on folks!!

Hopefully my card will show up in the mail in short order, but at this point Im not counting on it!!

Congrats to all that have received theirs, I just wish they would do things in some sort of order!

UPDATE>>>>>>>

I emailed the DPS RSD yesterday asking about my "All In" date and how long it would be. I received an email back (Crazy I know) stating:

"Thank you for using the Regulatory Services Division’s website.

Our records indicate your application is processing. We appreciate your understanding and patience. This can take up to eight (8) business weeks to complete once your application is submitted and all documents are received.

Your documentation was received on 02/12/16.

For security reasons, please do not respond to this email. Should you need further assistance, return to http://www.dps.texas.gov/rsd/contact/default.aspx to securely submit additional inquiries. "


ALTHOUGH, I wanted to get the your license is on the way, it is a little bit of a relief to know they are processing it and they give it 8 weeks... :clapping:

I'm on day 81 now. 55 business days. Last week I was told I was in the final stage, which I assumed was printing, but that was last Monday and I'm in Austin 10 mins from headquarters. Friends who did the class with me and submitted on the 22nd have had their plastic for 2 weeks almost 3 now. Hopefully this weeks my week... I emailed my state rep last Monday and have yet to get a reply. Guess she's left wing.. Just my luck.

Woke up and checked my status this morning and it finally changed!! 3-31-16
Time to sit at the window and wait for the mail lady like the good ol' days

Quick question.

I completed the application and scheduled my fingerprints. Should I go ahead and email my docs now, or wait until I do my fingerprints?

Send everything now! It's going to take months so the sooner probably the better.
