I've been told that before. It was from a gentleman in Lubbock. I am wondering if it's a West Texas proverb. :tiphat:

I emailed my state senator and he and his staff agree and will be looking into it. I do suggest emailing your reps, senators, and Abbott so we can see things fixed instead of being content with less.
Agreed. I don't have a problem with the time it's taking now because I know it's due to the influx of apps due to Paris, San Bernadino, Open Carry, etc., etc..State agencies can't just staff up that fast to meet a temporary demand. And if they could, new employees would have to be trained. But they could do a MUCH better job communicating with folks, and a good status tracking web tool would do the trick, I think. They should also update their website with current estimated processing times based on current demand for licenses.

Just some thoughts.
