Good luck and be safe!!

I called today and got through after the 10th time and waited 40 minutes, a fella answered, I stated that I was in my 12th week and was wondering where I was at in the process, I heard him chuckle when I stated the 12 weeks, but anyway he ask for my license number and stated that I was one of the lucky ones that my LTC had been approved and I would get it in the mail in the next 7 to 10 days.

I am reluctant to get excited but hey we will see. There has been no status change on the website, so the pessimist in me says if it doesn't get here in that time frame I won't be disappointed.

I have noticed on this forum that when they say you should get it in 7 to 10 days it is usually sooner so here's hoping that it true.

It is 70 days today and calling your State Rep does nothing other than getting a call from DPS stating it will be at least 2 to 4 more weeks but no promises, due to the volume of new applications. When I stated that some people were getting their plastic in the 60 day time frame that had snail mailed she had no answer just wait.

We are at the mercy of DPS they have no oversight they have total control and could care less if and when you get your plastic, I ask about an expedited process but she said they get thousands request a day and that will not happen, you get it when you get it!

I thought this forum would help with my frustration but at this point reading about others good fortune or misery only makes it worse.

Take care, I am out!!!

Day 67, nothing on website.

Called for the first time Friday and they said it was in processing, I told them it was over 60 days and they repeated what they tell everybody, so I called my State rep Friday afternoon told them I was at 64 days since they received all docs with email confirmation, they took my information and said they would get some info and email or call back, but haven't heard from State reps office today.

Like everybody else I understand they are busy, but they need to communicate with applicants. If they did there would be less frustration, DPS/RSD have had years to perfect this system even though there has been a huge increase of applications, but they should of expected that being this is Texas!

My friend got his license back in August 2015 and from the time he emailed all document it took 21 days till plastic.

All forms submitted online 1/6/16
spoke to someone tonight who said they had all of my stuff back from my background check and would notify me via mail if they needed anything else 3/9/16
Was told it could be two more weeks to 60 more days that they had 400% more applications than they expected and are running behind - The status page has been taken down and while they are working on another one, there is no completion date for that -

mmorton,

I am one day after you 1/7/16 when all forms were submitted and I received email confirmation.

It will be 9 weeks tomorrow 3/10/16 or 63 days, considered calling state rep like infoman suggested, but not sure, was wondering if anybody had gone that route and had any success?

Sig Texas got his plastic in 50 days but he mailed it in, so I guess that was a better way instead of email which really makes no sense, but congrats to Sig Texas.

I will be watching to see if and when RSD starts working on January submissions or maybe they already have, if so post it so it will give us January people hope that it will be soon!

60 days today from when I received an email reply that stated "RSD received all documents please allow 6 weeks for processing".

I have not called due to what I read on this board that it wouldn't do me any good just cause more frustration so I wait.

Hopefully they have started the January submissions! I thought I read where somebody who submitted in January at least had a website change!

I also read where somebody said they were at 75 days wow I hope I am not posting that in the next 15 days.

Oh well so the wait goes on

Congrats to all that have got their plastic and patience to those of us who are still waiting patiently.

I sent my docs on 1/15 (received confirmation a few days later). Just called RSD and they said that my bg check was back and that its in the final approval stage (whatever that means) that can take up to 72 hours. I'm 4 days behind the 1/11/16 poster that just st got approved. I have an uncomplicated (no arrests) bg check too. I'm not sure if that makes any difference .

So Zencurry your post gives me hope that mine will be approved soon, my final date was 1/7/16 when received an email stating "it would take 6 weeks for processing". It is 53 days today and I have a spotless record, so if what I have read is right by other posters it should be any day now. I have not called, all I have done is check the website, so hopefully it will be soon. :

Thanks for all the info.

1/2/16 LTC class, application started, received confirmation email
1/7/16 fingerprinted and submitted all documents, received confirmation email

7 weeks today, website hasn't changed!

Has anybody who started process in January received their plastic or had a website change?

Waiting patiently!!!

New to forum first time post!

Here is my timeline
1/2/16 Took LTC class and received CHL, application started and received confirmation email
1/7/16 fingerprinted and submitted all documents, received confirmation email stating please allow up to 6 weeks for processing from RSD.

So 2/11/16 will be 5 weeks since RSD received all docs, but initial application was submitted on the 2nd so my question is did the clock start on the 2nd or the 7th?

I have tried to be patient , I realize I am only 35 days in on Thursday and I have not called the RSD but getting anxious!

I had a friend who got his license back in August before the change to LTC on January 1, 2016 and he said it only took 3 weeks to plastic!
