"Waiting Room"

[leardriver1]

Hi Everyone,

All in w/ confirmation email Feb. 12th

Never called, wrote, or emailed. Just waited.

04/06/2016 ---> Plastic in hand today & website change today!!!

I had been checking multiple times a day, so both happened the same day for me... Here's to hoping yours is soon to arrive as well!

Hopefully it means all the rest of the February and earlier ones are close to being done at this time too.

Congrats man!

Thanks buddy!

I think I'll be here passed all of you. I'm on Day 83, 54 biz days. It took 2 days for my prints to get ELECTRONICALLY from Identigo to DPS. That would make it 85 days and 56 biz days. AND my App Date adds 9 days, so that would be 92 days, and 59 biz days.

But alas, there is only one other with my married name in Texas, an attorney, but tens, if not hundreds in Texas & U.S. with my maiden name. And many with records, though I had a non disqualifying misdemeanor 10 years ago, in another state. SO, I'll be here awhile.

Ugh.

Gnamaree, we haven't forgotten about you. I was wondering and hoping you heard some good news in the last day or so. But, alas.........

I have this dreadful feeling that I am taking over for sweatmachine as the longest tenured resident of the Waiting Room...

Funny. For those of us who have been following a bit and maybe not posting a lot, know exactly whom you are referring too.

Like I said, we will eventually get our plastic too......

I felt like someone needed to take over when Sweat graduated. Man, that guy knew how to persevere!

Now, on day 78. I am almost frustrated enough to give up... But then I remember SWEATMACHINE! and I stick it out one day more.

(Because honestly, what choice do I have? Go to HEB unarmed?!?! There is some bad looking grapefruit in my HEB, I don't want to face it unarmed. So, I send my wife... and I wait in the Waiting Room.)

Amen brother!

I used to have the magic touch of dialing through. But all I've been able to get is constant busy recordings.

So basically this is just a lottery and you never know when you might be up i guess. I am also assuming the DPS has no ideal what in order means , i think i may just go to another state and do mine so i can get it back in a timely manner.
I would really like to take a tour of where they do this at and see the circus act also really wish i knew someone that worked in this area and ask them what really goes on behind closed doors but i might not want to know.

I NEVER got an email conformation, but I did get an email response back from the DPS:RSD and they said they had all my stuff on Feb. 12th as well.
Now here is to hoping I get home and see plastic...or at least a website change would be nice.

1/6/2016 - Bought Ruger LCP through Eastex Firearms
1/9/2016 - CHL-100 @Southern Guns, David Laviolette CHL Instructor
1/9/2016 - Picked up 2nd Ruger LCP at Eastex Firearms
1/11/2016 7:25 PM - This email confirms you have submitted an online application
1/12/2016 11:36 AM - We have received your License To Carry supporting documents. Please allow up to six weeks for processing.
1/15/2016 4:44 PM - IdentoGo Service Confirmation - TX Personal Review
1/15/2016 4:44 PM - IdentoGo Service Confirmation - TX License to Carry
1/21/2016 - Certification of Criminal History [No criminal history] (TX Personal Review copy)

Three of us took the course together and our submittals were all with in a day or two - one of us just received a letter from DPS stating the the instructor's license had expired - apparently what happened was that the instructor put his LTC number on our CHL100's instead of his instructor's number - back to the Southern Guns (the gun shop that hosted the course) to obtain updated CHL100's for resubmittal -

This is fun,
Larry

Oh that is not good at all...something that is totally out of your control. Sorry bud.
