4guns2, you should only be so lucky. I've wondered about the Skipper or the Professor... nope, just Mary Anne, who I believe has been missing from a (8) hour tour for some time now... What part of Central Texas are you dealing with? Temple/Belton here...

And the story continues...

08/27/2009 - Called and spoke with DPS, application complete, but tech is still reviewing background check...

09/01/2009 - 117 days and waiting

09/02/2009 - Called DPS at 8:30am and was re-directed to the tech, "Mary Anne", who's voice mail stated Aug. 31st and to leave a message. So I did.

09/02/2009 - DPS email reply/response: "At this time we are awaiting the completion of the background investigation. Thank you for your continued
patience."

09/02/2009 - Called DPS back at 4:30pm and again was re-directed to my tech, "Mary Anne", again voice mail dated Aug. 31st. Used "0" option and got
back to main CHL line and asked if my tech was in and I was told she hadn't been seen. Asked if anyone else could help me and I was told no.
Asked who her supervisor was and was told "Leo" was her supervisor but that I needed to give my tech 48 hrs. to call back. I asked if she is out
or on vacation I just have to wait? I thanked the young lady who was helping me and said it has been almost 120 days and this greatly
exceeds the "magic" number of "60 days"... again thanked her and stated that I would call back in 48 hrs. for Leo, if my tech fails to return my
calls.

09/04/2009 - Called DPS back at 11:15am and asked to be forwarded to my tech, Mary Anne.
The young lady who answered asked me for my information and I complied.I expalined that I had left messages for my tech but that I beleive she may be out can I confirm? The youg lady who was taking my call was speaking with another female in the background and I could hear another female tell her to send me to Mary Anne's voicemail. She did. I left an additional message on a voice mail message dated Aug. 31st requesting a call that I had left previous messages and was told to give her 48 hrs. and that again I am complying with all of their request.

I see there was some activity with DPS over the last several days. I'm going on 117 days and nothing. No offense to the folks waiting in the bigger counties with historically a longer waiting time frame, but I'm in a smaller county and I swear they must not have anyone working the apllications... I'll just keep waiting... and will make a follow-up call again on Friday...

Well the waiting game continues... it's been 113 days since DPS received my application, but given the clock may not start until PIN is issued, PIN received 70 days ago... 60 days +... So I called... per the customer service representative, everything is in file and appears O.K. however, the tech was still completing the background check. DPS could not confirm an estimated time of completion...
