Gatonegro,

Your right...Guadalupe Street! When i took my class, the pictures were horrible (too light because of the heat) and they didn't even do our prints. I decided to do as much as I could to facilitate the process. Passport pics at CVS...$6.95, and they are good pics. I have done the FAST prints for my profession...piece of cake...and no ink! even went to DPS thinking they knew what they needed and were doing. So, all that and still reject. What I found out is the FBI rejects the print cards when they do the background checks. I was told that it is not unusal to be reject 3-4 times while the FBI trys to get a set that they like.

And so we wait.....good luck with it. Keep us posted.

I carried my app to the DPS. Went to the front office and they sent me to the back of the complex. Basically there is a street right behind the DPS (don't know the name of it) that runs parallel with Lamar. It connects with Dennison on the north and Koenig on the south. The Concealed Handgun Licensing Bureau is on that stree in the back of the whole DPS complex. You can't miss it. it is back where the parking lot for the DPS employees is. There is no parking in front of the building so I parked in the lot behind it and walked up to the building. They reviewed my app. gave me a receipt that it was received and said the wait was around 60 days. We all know how that goes.

I also did my fingerprint card with F.A.S.T. (the electronic fingerprints) right there at DPS. I figured they would be the people saying they were good or not so I let them do them. Well, I was wrong, FBI sent them back. So I repeated the process at the DPS and still waiting.

If you use the DPS for fingerprinting, it is right down the street from where you turn in the license app. at Dennison and Airport just before the railroad tracks and Highland mall.

Good Luck!!
