Newbie here! Anyone from Grayson County? By all of the posts here, looks like I'm in for a long wait. 12 days and counting

Not from Grayson, but Welcome!

On 10/22 went from "packet sent to applicant" to "processing application". So the way it sounds, I still have another month to go. sigh..

Well today is 60 days from the day my check cleared and the website still shows processing application. Is now a good time to give them a call? I am planning on calling Monday morning. I have read here that some people have gotten license while the site still shows processing and was wondering if there is a certain day that DPS mails licenses. I hope I get it before the holidays.

Wow. My application was received in Austin on October 24th and my plastic arrived December 10th.

Just called DPS and they said they were still waiting on a background check. I mentioned that I have heard that Travis County is pretty slow and the lady agreed. She didn't come out and say it was Travis county they were waiting on but when I said they have dropped the ball again she agreed. Looks like I won't be getting my Christmas present till after new years at this rate.

Well it looks like I am the current senior member of the waiting room. I don't know what the holdup on my background check is. With the exception of a minor in possesion ticket back in 84 or 85, I have never had anything worse than a traffic ticket. I haven't even had one of them in 6 or 7 years. Travis county must not like the CHL laws. I guess I will give DPS another call on the 26th which will be 71 days since they received my app.

Yeah DPS informed me that since I have a previous arrest, they will probably be using the full 90 days to perform an extra thorough backgorund check.
