All down hill now!

So pretty confused right now. I called DPS earlier today around 4pm and asked to speak with my case worker to find out if she got my fax.. So normal so far. Then the rep I talked to said there should be no need to talk to your rep your approved and there working on making your license now. Which thought was awesome of course so took that as what was going on. But shortly after the phone call I decided I wanted to see it myself. So I logged into to check said status online and it shows I am still in background check: Under review. So does anyone know if this guy made a mistake or maybe the online system doesnt update when the status changes or whatever. Would anyone know anything about this. Thanks in advance

They don't update the site as often as you would hope they would. Hang in there?

so, I am trying to figure out why some go really quickly and others take longer - have you had multiple addresses in the last five years? out of state? several jobs? I still have no clue what they check and why some folks go from Background under review to completed in days while others take weeks...I guess my mind just likes to find patterns instead of randomness :)

Good luck...hope you get yours soon.

Well to answer your questions. Part of the reason why mine is taking so long to get from what I have learned is sense I dont have a Texas DL so non resident there more common to wait longer. Another reason is texas sent me a letter for a request for more info that i didnt know about for 30 days so sat in limbo for those days when i could have been doing something. So in the long run mine probably would have only taken about 60 days if I would have seen the letter for more info request sooner.

But as of this morning website still hasn't updated. But really trying to trust the texas rep I spoke with. I suppose they would know better with there computers then what i can look at online. But does anyone know is there a specific times or days during the week that they update the website statuses?

Now I can post it as official. Background Check Complete Pending Manufacturing.

I sure hope so, I had a lengthy background but sent all the certified court documents with the packet. Hope it doesn't stay in background check for a month.

Almost there another status update to Manufacturing.
