I called back today and was told that my app had cleared and my info was being sent to the printer and I should have it in three to 4 weeks. Three to four weeks seems a bit long just, we'll see what happens.

By the way, the online status still claims Processing Application

I originally submitted my application on March 10th.

Around 60 days later, they sent me a letter stating I needed to send payment. They lost my money order, and when I spoke to them, they sounded like it happens all the time. So I sent a check( cashed on May 22nd) and paid to get my money order traced. (It was never cashed, so I got my money back). So my time restarted over. It's been over 90 days, over 160 days total.
After two two failed attempts to get a hold of Sen. Mike Jackson, I was able to get in contact with my state Rep. John E. Davis. They supposedly lit a fire under DPS. We'll see.

good luck, but I doubt they did anything - that is just a politician speaking
