I would definitely wait until they've had it for 60 days. They get a little testy otherwise and will just blow you off. :grumble

Yeah. I'm not going to bother. From what I've read, most of the time you'll be told to piss off anyway. I'm not even sure when my 60 days started. I've read that it's as of the time they start "Processing Application."

Well, I called DPS today and spoke with Simone. According to Simone, my background check is still being "processed; but everything else looks really good." She seems to think I should have my plastic "by the end of the month." A far cry from the 'few days' to issue that I had previously been told. Grrr. :waiting:
