Don't despair Roscoe. It's only been 40 days for you so far. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if you had it by mid October time frame. Hang in there!Roscoe wrote:My paperwork was also received by DPS on 03 August. Should be interesting to see how long it takes for approval. I held a CCL from 2002-2006 it expired while I was serving at the Embassy in Paraguay 2006-2008. Last time I submitted my paperwork in October and received my license in March. My timing is always perfect; right after 9/11 there seemed to be a bit of a surge in applications. Now I'm dealing with the effects of the Obama regime taking over in D.C.

Re: August 2009 Applications
Anyone else find it a bit disturbing that the page to check your status is titled, "Texas DPS - Crime Records Service"?

Re: August 2009 Applications
Well at least getting closer, USA1. It hasn't been 30 days since its changed to processing. But I'm feeling excited. Maybe that's why I'm checking 4,5 or 6 times a day now.USA1 wrote:Joe , you might be getting pretty close yourself according to these record times .
