DAY 79
PLASTIC!
I'm still going to speak to my Representative because it took nearly twice as long as the law allows.
Good luck to all.

Congrats! That is just frustrating to have to wait that long. It seems like there is a lag with the April submittals. There must be some burned out clerk that got all the April submittals and just dragging feet.

Thanks. Statistically, I should have plastic on Monday. We'll see.

Anyone have thoughts on what I should do or what is going on? I tried calling but it just says they have too many applications and automatically hangs up and I tried emailing and they just send back a generic pre-written email. I noticed some people on have submitted their stuff in April and already have their LTC in hand. So shouldnt mine have been completed too?

Decided to post here since this is my first LTC.

04/18/16- DPS email all documents received
05/26/16- Status Changed (Able to change address and other info online)

Not sure if that was fast but my local (he has a home business )neighborhood FFL told me I would be getting it fast because of my unique name., let me explain.

Not sure if this is true.

I am hispanic-texan and I have a very unique name: FIRST;MIDDLE;LAST;FAMILY NAME

He said the fact that my name is unique affects the processing time apparently. Every time he runs my name through NCSI it comes back freaking quick.

Multiple FBI/Local criminal background records can be pulled if you happen to have a similar first and last names and that can slow the process since the FBI and local authorities can get overwhelmed with record request.


Any truth to this? Seems like for me.

BTW how long should it take to get to me via snail mail?

40 days all in, looks like RSD is picking up the pace. I was shocked to see the status change when I just checked. Hopefully the mailman will be my friend come Monday/Tuesday.

"If you have a pending License to Carry a Handgun application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required."

Is that what everyone else's says? I keep hearing people saying theirs says "pending". Is that what they are referring to, or should I be concerned?
