Re: October 2011 Applications

Still waiting. Now that the initial 60 days are up I get a new canned email:
At this time we are awaiting the completion of the background investigation. A technician has been assigned to your application to make sure that all the charges on your record are non-disqualifying. You may track your status online at http://www.txdps.state.tx.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, Concealed Handgun Section, as long as you have all of the required information.
Anyone seen this before? Is this a good sign or can we not safely make any inferences on just how much longer the wait will be?

Past two days I've been getting a generic "site down" message. ???

Re: October 2011 Applications

Absolutely. And back to the topic of this thread... Still waiting!
My application is considered overdue "after 12/07/2011."
Does that mean they'll actually say something on the 8th, if not before, or is that just something DPS throws into their canned replies to get people to stop pestering them for at least 60 days?

Re: October 2011 Applications

Absolutely, and I brain-farted writing the last post; Cricketts are surprisingly accurate little .22's. If you can shoulder it. Firing a full-stocked rifle as a pistol doesn't work so well. ;-)

Re: October 2011 Applications

Strider67, I'm not trying to bash your suggestion at all; in fact, I think for what it is, the Cricketts are fine little beginner rifles. They're surprisingly reliable and dirt-cheap most places.
Only drawback is that it'll be outgrown pretty quickly, but in all likelihood, won't last quite that long.

Re: October 2011 Applications

No worries, GIJoe, I'm at over a month. When I try and email them I just get a canned response saying "Your application isn't overdue until it's been 60 days, please call us at ##########."
Which is all good and well. 'Cept my email states that when I tried calling I spent 20 mins on hold then got hung up on...

Re: October 2011 Applications

Congrats, guys. My last update after mailing docs was on the 15th as well. Still pending review for me. Sad.

9/27/11 : apply on line

10/7/11 : materials mailed
10/10/11: receipt of materials (I.a.w. USPS)
10/16/11: web site indicated waiting for materials
Don't sweat it; I put mine in the mail on the 6th and didn't get an update confirming materials received until yesterday. I wouldn't be shocked if it was updated tomorrow, or Tuesday at the latest.
