New member in the waiting room...

Post by ubernoob »

Application mailed, in Austin, 10 April 2007.

I would have hand delivered it, since I was in Austin, but I wasn't sure of the address. Oh well, it couldn't possibly take more than a day to make it across Austin.

So, I have lived in Travis and Bexar county, mostly Travis. I hear they take a while. What do you think?

Welcome. Use this time to practice your method of carry at home, cover garments, and getting used to it being there.

Don't check the site more than once a week as it will drive you nuts. Ask most anyone here.

I'll probably set the site to my homepage. :) I also assume it's going to take at least 60 days, so anything sooner is just a bonus.

Also, the additional 60 days will give me some extra time to get in better shape so that I don't have to buy a new wardrobe to carry IWB.

Hee hee, now that's funny. I can honestly say, I don't blame you. I would check 2 or more times a day. At least you have this forum for support. During my wait, I didn't know it existed.

Good luck

That is funny. At this point, I'd be thrilled just to get my PIN. I can't even start wasting my time checking the DPS webpage yet.

My wife and I went by DPS to renew her commercial license. She works with special education kids at school, drives a school bus and needs it for that. When we went to the counter we asked for a renewal form and the lady handed it to me. In front of everyone I had to hand it to my wife! :oops:
I felt like I needed to explain to the woman so I blurted out, "Well, I'm getting my Concealed Handgun License soon!"
The clerk looked at me like I was nuts and my wife just gave me that little patronizing smile, (you know the one)! :roll:
It's funny now but it took awhile to get that way! :lol:

Well, I hope that the ladies will take care of their spouses in a self defense situation. At least we know that the ladies are safe!

Hah! I said the same thing about the 60 days. Then everyone else started getting theirs in like 35 days. Now I'm at 45 days and going nuts!

April 21: Pin Recevied, Processing Application.

I'm getting closer. The big question now is how fast does Travis county turn around those background checks.
