70 days total including weekends, and I got it on my Mothers birthday. Not bad from some of the timelines that I have seen on here.

Good luck to all of you that are still waiting.

Received a letter from DPS on Oct 2nd stating they needed an "unaltered" copy of my DD-214. I realized that when I made a copy of it, I had misaligned the form and had cut off part of the form number. I made the copy showing everything including the complete form number and returned it the same day. Received my PIN on Oct 23rd which shows "processing application" when I log-in, now let's see how long this takes. I have an active secret clearance for the contract position I perform for the military, I have 3 separate state manager licenses (for the TXDPS) that are active, and I have zero issues in my background . Wonder how long it will take them to connect the dots and realize that I am one of the good guys who is allowed to carry?

Roan, I did basically the same thing. I printed the fees page, wrote it in myself and even "checked" my own box. I hope the folks there have a sense of humor about it.

Thank you Sir for your service.

Submitted my application on Friday the 28th of August. I filled out the application, but I printed the fees listing from the website showing the $70 veterans fee, the application didn't show it under the special provisions. I hope that the fine folks in the processing center can figure out what it means. They are sending out old applications when a new fee is appicable.
