Re: January 2014
Well here's good news!
1/7/14: All docs uploaded & emailed through DPS website
1/18/14: Email stating all docs received and no further action needed
3/7/14: Website still says "application received, waiting on documents"
After everything was "lost" and re-submitted...finally:
Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received
Photo : Received
Proof of Classroom training : Received
Proof of Proficiency training : Received
Fee : Received
Background Check : Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending
Hopefully it gets manufactured and mailed quickly!! A 4.5 month process is always fun!

Called DPS, waited on hold for 19 minutes, told the wait is long and "it can take 90 days for documents to attach to application, and another 90 days for background check to be completed and license mailed".
What? There are people on here that filed after me and already have their license. I'm calling back on Monday and hoping to get someone who cares.
Just called for the 3rd time. This time I found out they "sent incorrect emails to people saying everything was received, but my electronic submission did not transmit the file attachments". WHAT?

So, no one before (in my emails or phone calls) could tell me this? So I sent it all again. How can I submit everything, wait two weeks to find out "all docs are submitted and no further action is needed"...and after almost 90 days find this out?
Here's hoping it's not another 90 days to find out something else is wrong.
The funny thing, my CHL in Portland, Oregon was literally a 30 day process. That's in liberal country with massive government. Here in Texas I fully expected a more pleasant and expedient process.
