It's recently seemed that "application complete" and "mailing day" have coincided... so I'd be surprised if you don't have the plastic very very soon... tomorrow or Friday.

3 months...Harris county.. that's cool!

Did any of your previous residences exist in Harris or Brazoria county?

Hope you didn't want a custom holster...the wait on those is often worse then the wait on DPS! lol

PIN numbers are not just for online applicants. You should write to them and get a status. They seem to reply to emails best. Mention the date you know they received the packet, that it's been over 60 days, that you have yet to receive your PIN number to check your status online, and you'd like to know that you're application is being processed. That's about it. I don't mean to offend, but the site is plenty helpful...

For example, you can find this text:

In order to login you are required to have a Personal Identification Number (PIN). All PIN’s are assigned by the Texas Department of Public Safety. If you have forgotten, misplaced or never received your PIN, please contact TxDPS via email (chl@txdps.state.tx.us) and include the following information: Texas concealed handgun license number, driver license number, full name and date of birth. Your PIN will be returned in a timely fashion to the same email address submitting the request and in the order your request was received.

If your application didn't include an email address, you will probably have to call them to get a status. But fortunately their FAQ basically says "don't call us for 60 days" and you're just now over the 60 days. I'm no expert...I sent my application in this month and I can only go on the stores i've seen on this forum, but your wait, as a Harris County resident, has only just begun. Once they receive it, they have a month to start processing. Once they start processing they have 60 days to approve, deny, or tell you there's a delay and give you an ETA. So you're a month away from that, but since you don't have a PIN to know when they started processing, I don't think they'll get upset if you call or contact them. Good luck!

Smokin and Texasnative... what counties are you in? 2 months is livable, just curious to compare different circumstances.
