I never got a pin either. I went to the DPS web site and requested one.

I'm sure if I delayed my property tax payment, and blamed it on Ike, they wouldn't be so understanding.

They had my app since June 13th, but DPS did not send in the back ground info until Aug 8th, and I am still waiting on Harris County. I just finished a pretty nasty letter to DPS wanting answers. 5 months to have a packet turned in is plenty of time to have all this taken care of, I also advised them I did not want to hear an excuse about Hurricanes or being short handed that I wanted answers, or I will find someone who can give me answers. If I would have known it was this much of a pain in the ... I would have never taken the course. Another side note to all this, I have had the folks at DPS when you call tell me that Harris County is doing back ground checks, and some said the FBI is doing the back ground checks and some tell me we can't share that information. So does DPS really know who is doing the back ground checks? LOL I bet it's a private company!!!!!!LOL
