Been lurking for a while. I just thought I would say hi. I have listed my status below and from looking at the past waiting list. Everything looks to be atleast twelve weeks out. Anyay I willl try to get some pictures up when I get home tonight,. Looking forward to vast knowledge on this site.

DPS website now shows my app 'processing'. I'm not sure exactly when this happened, though. I'd been expecting their website to list all the phases (app mailed... app received...app processing...), so hadn't been actually *reading* the single status line item on the webpage. Sheesh.

Anyway, my waiting has progressed a bit.

Today's my 60th day from their reciept I plan on being mean and contacting my rep tomorrow

I'm a Feb applicant. I'm on day 90. Contacted State Rep, Email DPS, Answer is " Waiting on Background check to come in, there is nothing else we can do for you" ....I wouldnt be mean by the way, unless you really dont mind waiting forever. Those girls at the DPS are pretty mean themselves and strike me as the type that would do anything to prolong your wait if you give them an atittitude good Luck anyway.

I don't see why I have to play nice and follow all the rules when the people that work at the CHL license place breaks the law all the time, most people would be fined for this type of behavior but because they are the DPS they get off willy-nilly and I don't see why I should have to pay because they are too cheap to hire people to get these licenses done in a timely manner as prescribed by law.

I'm so far in love with Senator Joan Huffman, sent an e-mail to her office at 6:20 and in less than 12 minutes had a reply from one of her aides saying that they would contact DPS for me <3

im glad alot of us are calling dps and better yet ,state reps and senators offices. dps needs to get on the ball. its too early for me to start calling, but im sure when i hit a certain time line, i'll be gettin a little flustered myself.

Just checked the website & it says Application Completed - License issued!!!! Now just gotta wait for usps to get it to me.
My friend who took the class with me & mailed off the same day also has Application Completed.

Today is my 74th day & I'm in Jefferson County.

[Rigger 609]

Wow that seems like good news. 74 day's in is that from the received date or the pin date?

I just received my pin the other day. If they go 60 day's from my pin date I'm looking at mid July.

Great news. Hoping I have similar results.

Hi Rigger!

Actually it was 74 days from the date DPS received my application. Only 35 days from receipt of PIN.

I understand some of the other counties are taking a lot longer - I haven't seen anything else here about Jefferson County, but apparently the background checks are going thru pretty quickly.

Hope you get yours in soon!

[nana321]

Thanks Biga9999 - looks like you were right behind me in sending into DPS. Hopefully yours will be in soon!

Just talked to customer support. She is saying 6 weeks to issue PIN.

Seven weeks in, so I call DPS. Gal tells me 8 to 9 week wait for the PIN.
