For every body that is still waiting, the time will come. Peace out everybody!

Well since my recent status change I ordered my new holster and a gun belt, I'm sure it will be one of many... I went with the 5.11 Tactical Operator belt and the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0, I think this will make for a good starter setup. Got to check the mail today since they said my license was mailed on the 29th and my status changed on the 5th,,, Wish me luck!

Well my status changed this morning so the end is indeed near!

Hang in there I know there is a mailman running around somewhere out there with your plastic.

You just wait til I catch that sucker!!!

Looks like things have been speeding up in Austin. Looking at the last few pages here looks like it went from 3-3.5 months to 2-3 months. Maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones and get mine in May some time instead of June-mid June!

I was told by the rep that they hired help and also that they are working until 7PM and seven days a week. Sounds like a bunch of our tax money wasted if you ask me.

I have been trying to call dps but no luck. Keep on getting a machine that says Due to high call volumes our representatives are not available to assist you. Any suggestions would be helpfull

Best advice is to be patient! (I know easier said than done) They have barely made it halfway through January... It generally takes every bit of 12 weeks. My all in date is 1-25, its so close I can taste it!

For some unknown reason a few February apps have been approved but I wouldn't bank on being one of them! Set your countdown clock for 12 weeks sit back and relax...... Good Luck!!!

Looks like I'm about half way there... 12 week mark that is... June 1st makes 80 days for me! Still long ways out...

Looks like I got a loooong way to go!!!

I don't know what the official start date is. If it is from confirmation email date then I'm at 27 business days or 37 days total. If it is from all in date then I'm at 22 business days or 30 days total. This is up there with one of the worst waiting periods of my life!
