Re: App submitted, looooong wait

Thanks guys. I know I am eligible - also no need to pay for a criminal history as I have the FBI file on myself (thanks to a family member). Thinking the holidays are delaying them, as well as the fact I have several jurisdictions where I have worked.

Just don't want to fall into the bucket of those who don't hear anything and are automatically denied because technically after 90 days with no decision that is a denial (411.177 c).

App submitted, looooong wait

Hollow everybody,

I'm new to the forum, and looking for some answers. I have completed everything relating to submitting my CHL app, and am curious as to the process for DPS.

My materials got to Austin on 11/15, and I'm still stuck in background review - and it's frustrating because I see others on here who have received their license already, who sent their stuff in after I did.

Here are a few questions, looking for info about the DPS process and why mine is taking so long:

1). I have lived in Texas for about 6 years, just over 5 at same address. But I didn't get my TX drivers license until about 4 months into my tenure at my current residence. I know you need to get it sooner, but not everyone can spend hours in line at the DPS office. Do they match up DL records with what you stated on your app, and since my DL date of issue doesn't match my residence timing on the CHL app, they are confused?
2). I have had three different places of employment in the last 5 years, in three DFW area cities. Does this cause extra time? Do they have DPS employees in each county or city who do local background checks? How long does that usually take? I know exactly what is on my FBI background check - I had that done separately before applying through a relative who is an agent - so the federal one shows what I expect it to....
3). I have a public intox that was dismissed and expunged, and another class A that I had deferred adjudication on (started probation in March 2007, finished 9 months later). The class A is now sealed under an order of non disclosure. I'm 100% sure neither will disqualify me (asked DPS about both prior to applying). But due to this, will the process take longer? Are you automatically put in a "trouble maker" pile at DPS and your app and background goes through more scrutiny if you have prior run ins with the law? I sent a copy of the order of non disclosure which was the final disposition in the class A case, and sent a copy of the dismissal from the municipal court in the public intox case. DPS also said I could send copies of the certified documents instead of the actual certified copies.

Sorry if already covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find much on the background check timeframe piece, as well as what DPS does on their end from a local background check standpoint.

-Andy
