congrats to all that have made it thru this painstaking process. new finger prints taken and sent in 5/27/09. went to check status last nite and i see "processing application" so i guess im back to the processing stage. never knew this would be such a pain in the u know what to get a chl. well good luck all. 5/27/09 made 90 days since original packet signed for.

Went and checked the mail today...still no plastic...bummer...

The DPS representative told me it was mailed last Thursday from Austin. Still not in Dallas by Tuesday, they must be shipping it by carrier pigeon...we did have some storms this morning, maybe the bird got lost in the rain...

Meanwhile, I can't even carry in my vehicle as my license is "Active", thus MPA doesn't protect me, yet I have no license to show to the officer. I read about another poster on this site having to go through a suspension hearing for carrying in his vehicle after his license was active, but before the plastic arrived. Hopefully it will be here before Friday, as I am headed to Central Texas for the weekend and I really don't like traveling without my weapon.

What is the typical mail transit time from "Application Complete" to Plastic in Hand for most folks around here?

I gotta stop coming here! Although I'm happy for those of you who have recently received your plastic, I'm getting more ticked off every time I see that your package was received by DPS AFTER mine, and I'm still "processing". I'm at 103 days today, got my PIN at the 30 day mark, and have not heard anything from DPS in regards to bad prints, photos, etc.
So what's the problem?

At what point do we call it a draw?

UPDATE>>>

Day 104...
Application Complete..license issued!

Shorts...you win...or lose, depending on how you see it. I owe you a six pak!

According to DPS statutes, don't they have 60 days to approve, deny, or at least give notice as to why licenses haven't been issued? Wouldn't those still waiting after 90 days be automatically denied if the DPS fails to notify them?

Those still waiting deserve answers, and if I were still waiting, I'd damn sure be calling someone requesting status in writing.

(b) The department shall, not later than the 60th day after the date
of the receipt by the director's designee of the completed application
materials:
(1) issue the license;
(2) notify the applicant in writing that the application was denied:
(A) on the grounds that the applicant failed to qualify under the
criteria listed in Section 411.172;
(B) based on the affidavit of the director's designee submitted
to the department under Section 411.176(b); or
(C) based on the affidavit of the qualified handgun instructor
submitted to the department under Section 411.189(c); or
(3) notify the applicant in writing that the department is unable to
make a determination regarding the issuance or denial of a license to
the applicant within the 60-day period prescribed by this subsection
and include in that notification an explanation of the reason for the
inability and an estimation of the amount of time the department will
need to make the determination.
(c) Failure of the department to issue or deny a license for a period
of more than 30 days after the department is required to act under
Subsection (b) constitutes denial.
