Just sent my wifes app off Jan 5, it was recieved on the 7th.
It took me 120 days back in April on Brazoria county, I am Hoping from the positive post hers will be a whole lot shorter.
Wow! DPS cashed my check Jan 11, 4 days after recieving, a far cry from how long it took me back in April. I am stoked, guess I better get busy selecting my wifes carry method for her Sig P250-9mm

Welcome to the forum grad_Student.
Lots of good information here on the forum to soak in while you are waiting, so pull up a chair and stay awhile!

I paid online last year. Took my class this Saturday 1/9 and mailed the packet off on 1/11. Hopefully this will be short and sweet!

I mailed my packet off on the 31st of December but they didn't get it till the 4th of January so I am going to call myself a January applicant. I received my PIN in the mail today and my status is processing. So far the milestones have fallen just as I expected and things are moving right along. Hopefully it won't be long now.

I did everything online so I don't think I'm getting a PIN number in the mail. How else can I find this PIN?

You will get your PIN via Snail Mail. If you received a packet after sign up online then your PIN was in the packet sent to you from the DPS.

It's on page 1 of the application packet you received. 3 lines below your address.
"Your personal identification number (PIN) is: _ _ _ _ " . ( For me it's a letter followed by 3 numbers. )

Then I did a great job of reading
Is there to email them to request the PIN?

dropped mine off in person today. I had a gap in my employment history from when I was in college and the lady at the desk had me fill out that I was in college for those dates in the employment history section, weird.

That's normal. It should change to "processing" soon. Probably another week (give or take a few days) .
