Congratulations brother. Stay safe.

Devastating news coming in..... Still not website change or plastic.(Day: 92)

However, I did receive an email response back from the DPS (same day response) they informed, "Our records indicate your application is pending receipt of the following:
Documents requested via letter from the agency"

So with that in mind, i'll obviously be waiting for my plastic until the good Lord comes back to take me home!

Do you have any idea what that means? What documents? What agency? Inquiring minds...

Brooklyn,

I have no clue what that even means??? I sent them another email with the hopes it would get back to me just as fast as I have received them before. I did not receive anything in the mail from them pertaining to the "agency letter", so I am in gun license limbo.

SplittinHairs wrote:Hello all, new member here. Found this thread while searching for Tx LTC waiting info. I am yet another Texan who has been waiting for an entirely too long of a time. I sent in all of my documentation online and received the confirmation emails on January 21st. I called about a month ago and after being on hold for about 20 minutes was told that they had my info but that it hadn't been put in yet, despite the fact that it should have been a digital copy... so I don't quite understand that bit. Anyway, how much longer should I expect to wait? Frankly I am getting extremely irritated cause I spent a lot of money for the most horrible service I have ever paid for in my life.

Welcome aboard sir. My confirmation date was January 21 too, although I had had everything submitted on January 15. My website status just changed yesterday and I am awaiting plastic within the next couple days. I would expect that you are probably fairly close as well. Amen on your thoughts about customer service.

Plastic in hand 4/8/16!!

Good luck to the rest of the folks, I am OUT OF THE WAITING ROOM!

12/05/2015: Submitted LTC application to the TX DPS, through their website.

12/08/2015: Took required LTC class and passed. Received CHL-100 Certificate of Training Form in return.

01/08/2016. Had fingerprints taken electronically through a local IdentiGO center. After the fingerprints were taken, the employee said that they would send them off to the DPS. He also said that I would need to scan the receipt and send it in to the DPS to confirm with them that I did indeed have my fingerprints taken.

01/08/2016: Submitted all remaining documents to the DPS, through their website.

01/21/2016: Received an email from the DPS saying that they had received all supporting documents and that it would take up to 6 weeks for processing.

03/22/2016: It was past the “6th week” mark and I haven’t heard or received anything from anyone. I am at 61 days on this date.

03/22/2016: I tried calling the DPS in regards to my application. When I pressed “1” to speak to a representative about my LTC license, I received the automated message that they’re busy.

03/31/2016: I e-mailed the offices of two local state representatives and one state senator, concerning my LTC application.

03/31/2016: I received a quick response from the state senator’s chief of staff, saying that they’ll look into the matter and to provide them with any information that would help the process.

04/01/2016: I received a response from State Rep. #1’s office. They informed me that they had reached out to DPS and that their response was that: “applications are behind and there is a long wait. He also told me that “the DPS office pulls an application out from the stack and works on it, whenever an elected official’s office calls about that certain person”.

04/04/2016: I received an update from the state senator’s office again. This time, they’ve informed me that my application was selected and would be printed this exact day, and that I should receive my LTC in the mail soon.

04/07/2016: I check my application status online to find that my status has indeed changed.

Now, it’s just waiting for that piece of plastic…

Oh, State Rep. #2 has yet to contact me back…

I'm just hanging here with you.

We need to give you a name like "Norm." I am not sure it changes throughout the day, I think its updated overnight and either you are the lucky few or you are not....

Looks like I'll be getting up from the table soon. I live outside Austin, so I'm hoping today (optimistic), or in the next couple days to have plastic in hand. The long slog is just about over for me. Stay strong brothers and sisters... Your day is coming.
