Its not a loop hole. You do not need to know who the director's designee is to determine when it was received. Whoever receives it at DPS is the designee. If you sent in your application with signature required or proof of delivery you have all you need to show/prove when it was received.

The time it takes to process the background checks has more to do with the workload than the actual process of the background check itself. For example, Harris County has one person that does all of the background checks. I don't know how many BG checks can be done in one day by one person but I suspect its not the same amount as the number of applications coming in every day. Simply put, the system is back logged because enough resources are not being applied to the areas that are unable to keep up with the increase of applications.
