I was told is was the 2 counties I live/work at that took a long time to send in their forms. After that It was mailed out the following day!
But I do have to say, living in Austin, the people at DPS are very helpful and polite. They helped me make sure everything was fine. Even the 3 times I went back to check the status and the 2 times I e-mailed I got timely responce.
As soon as I get my crossbreed IWB holster my G22 will be having a long term relationship with it.
