A company in the private sector would do just that - and THAT is the difference between private industry and Your Tax Dollar At Work(tm). Let's hear it for socialized health care! :thewave </sarcasm>

How many February applicants are still waiting? The board seems to be getting very quiet, and lonely.

I'm still waiting. I get a spurt of hope when I see someone in the Feb bunch get theirs. So I check mine. But it still reads the same. :waiting:

Still here, too.
140 days from start of process (paperwork rec'd) in Austin
91 days from re-start (2nd prints rec'd)
One week since mailing letters to State Rep and Senator

Just checked DPS website...still "Processing Application"

As an aside, does anyone else get nervous constantly plugging in a SSN into a website?

Q

Finally, DPS called today and my Harris county BG check came in yesterday. They said I should get plastic in a couple weeks. I'd bet three or four weeks but she said they were putting a rush on printing.

I am syill Waiting for the totally USELESS DPS to issue a license...... I am over 135 days, What a Farce!! Emailing senators and DPS DOES NOTHING..... As far as Texas being a "shall" issue state..... Well we can all see how well they do with that statute! As the days pass I just get madder and madder at our State government politics as usual, I think we all know what would happen if we decided to conveniently "Break the Law"
