I understand that technically the budget money is not there for DPS to add staff...BUT: it really is. Think about it this way: The supervisor at DPS (whom the 21 current processors report to), told me that historically they've had about 55,000 applicants in process at any given time (or for a 6-week...

Update: Last week I wrote my state rep - Wednesday. Received a phone call Thursday and he said he would make the call to their 'inside' line at DPS. He did so, and then called me back Friday a.m. to tell me that someone from DPS would be calling me. Monday I received that call - apparently the super...

Apparently only SOME January applicants. My confirmation email was 1/5 and still waiting. Last week I wrote my state rep - Wednesday. Received a phone call Thursday and he said he would make the call to their 'inside' line at DPS. He did so, and then called me back Friday a.m. to tell me that someon...

Update: Confirm email 1/5/16 and still no plastic. Got through to the DPS Tuesday - same story: waiting for background check. No commitment. "Wait another 30 days, then call us back". I emailed State Rep. Scott Turner Wednesday through his website, and cited delays, 60-day statute, inabili...

We submitted the same day, and I still have no progress. 71 days. I finally got through to them t...

My submission was complete 1/5. 66 days as of today. I have seen several that were submitted well after mine that have been approved. It sucks, but it sucks worse for you December folks. They'd save a whole lot of taxpayer frustration if their website would give you a real status, or if they would a...

While I understand the workload issues that DPS struggles with (and I'm sympathetic), they really are no different than most other Texas government offices: Understaffed and non responsive. The fact that their website is really of no help exacerbates the frustration. They could save all of this if t...

I hear you, Zimmer.... I just got to that point as well. Everything submitted 1/5 and was confirmed, and we're seeing mail submissions 2 weeks later that are approved? GEEESH!
