"Waiting Room"

[Flightmare]

Anyone know how often DPS updates the progress of certification process? Since last night at approx 7pm I've checked the status at least 5 times lol.

It took me over two weeks to even get the email saying they received my documents. Been over 3 weeks and still zero updates online. Not even that the documents have been received. I think I might be one of the people who receives the plastic before seeing any change online. Time to stalk the mailman soon.

Be patient. Some of us were in the situation that they didn't even post status updates. You sent in your paperwork and waited 2+ months and then one day you see the option to change your address. Sometimes the plastic would arrive before that even happened. I think my friends waited somewhere around 3-4 months, but that was back in the early part of the year when there was a huge backlog. DPS seems to be caught up on most things now. I would expect you could see something before long. In the mean time, start shopping for holsters and practice carrying and drawing at the house.

Spoke too soon. The very next morning my online status changed to "Background Check : Under review" everything else is green except for the "Print Pending"

Decided to join up after checking the waiting room to see how everyone else's applications are going.

My timeline:
7/11 Application sent
7/12 Fingerprints done
7/16 Took class and submitted all supporting documents
7/25 Status change all green except fingerprints and background review
9/26 asked RSD a question about my fingerprints being still not completed, since it had been 60 days and got the generic copy pasted response
I replied to the email asking about my fingerprints and have not heard any response.

Background- in last 5 years have lived in 3 different apts due to rent increases after 1st year.
5 and a half years ago had a deferred adjudication on hitting a guardrail. I provided case numbers agency and all supporting information to make it easier to check out.

So Im 21 and took my class and submitted my finger prints.

i paid my application on 10/4/2016
i submitted finger priests 10/5/2016
i submitted supporting documents 10/5/2016
Email of receipt of my documents 10/5/2016

how long should i expect to wait? i had one arrest when i was 18 and all charges were unconditionally dismissed.
i obtained a copy of the dismissal order from the Nueces County (I'm from Corpus Christi) and submitted it in the supporting documents with my CHL-100...

Any idea how long i should wait? i see no change in status when i try to log on to check...

Give it a month or so.

I submitted all of my paperwork the first week of Sept and my status has been all green except background check : Under Review.

Myself and a co-worker did all the steps at the exact same time and she received her LTC in 2 weeks or less. Myy wife got hers 3 weeks to the day. I am 5 plus weeks now!

I already had a CHL and let it expire more than 12 months so I was going through the process again. I am trying to figure out what the delay is.

[uthornsfan]

So I just called to ensure everything was in order with my application.

I spoke with a very "I can't be bothered by your stupid questions" person I believe named Victoria or Veronica. I had to apologize for simply calling in after she told me my status should be in QA and that everything was finished and no longer Under Review on the background check.

So yay for it being almost here. Boo for having to talk to someone who had a case of the Mondays on a Tuesday.

How do I find a telephone number for the DPS. I know people can't post the numbers directly but how do I go about finding them?
