Well I stand corrected I got a form letter today from Patrick. Thank you Mr Patrick.EHS wrote:Contact your reps?If your Reps are the same ones I have, good luck!! Heck I can not even get them to responed to me. I have emailed and sent certified letters. I guess they only want to talk to you when they want your vote! By the way I say this with a loose term of represent I am represented by Patrick and Riddle. Thanks for the help reps, not even a phoney I care about you letter, but there is nothing I can do!! I guess we will all be better when we just act like sheeple.
I also wrote the gov., I got some response about sending letter to dps head and wanted follow up with me and gov's office of course no word for weeks. Then when I wrote the gov again no response!! Imagine that!!! Just imagine if I did not pay my taxes how quickly I would get a vistor or a "letter".
Just loving the system!!!!

Apparently State Reps are in fact doing something about the pile of apps that have been backlogged for counties such as Harris, Brazoria, Galveston and surrounding counties. I called DPS to see were the background check was and was told pending field investigation from Harris County. The rep did suggest contacting my state rep, which I did. The next day I received a phone call from my State Rep's liaison, followed by Texas DPS (CHL Rep) regarding my application, as well as the rest of the region I fall under. According to the DPS agent before they would submit the BG checks to the county office, however recent legislative laws have changed the way BG's are conducted. She stated employees at the Austin office now have the ability to run the field investigations locally doing so will streamline the turnaround time for all 90+ Days that have been in Processing App.
She stated that once your status changes from Processing App, to Application Approved, Cert Issued.... this is when the plastic is on the way to your doorsteps. :txflag
I am also happy that you got a speedy response from your rep. I also know that not everybody is getting a response, be it even a form letter from their reps. Watching some of the changes with the apps coming thru maybe the chl program is on a upswing. But remember it was not the people applying for the chl that ignored a know problem for so long. "My two cents" take it for what is worth. 
The tech also said my prosseces app will not change until it ships out. We will see. If your Reps are the same ones I have, good luck!! Heck I can not even get them to responed to me. I have emailed and sent certified letters. I guess they only want to talk to you when they want your vote! By the way I say this with a loose term of represent I am represented by Patrick and Riddle.

"Your application was approved and you should receive the license in 10-14 days."

congrats, hope you get your plastic sooner! At least you know they are not going in order, my app was turned in a full two weeks earlier. But when you ask them "nothing is wrong just call back in the second week of september." 
Do you think if I took the same attitude with paying my taxes they would be just as patient??
