Congrats! 

I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; empty guns kill people every year. -Elmer Keith. 1961
Re: I have a question
No one knows for sure. Apparently it can be a very long trip from the processing center to the mail room.
So....as far as we know, somewhere between 2 and 60 days.

Ya know, I need to work on making that sarcasm a little less subtle....
Usually, you will have plastic in hand within 10 days after seeing "license issued or certificate active"

Congrats Target just to give you a little hope I received my plastic the day after it showed active on the DPS website. My friend got his the same day that the website flipped his status. I'm sure sometimes the plastic goes out before the website gets updated.

Mine went active on a Monday or a Tuesday. I had my plastic on Friday.

I took "THE WALK" this evening. I didnt get me any ammo but I did get some paint to practice painting my guns. Dont worry, I will start on something else first. The rest of the walk went great.

Re: FINALLY...Its ACTIVE but now I have a question
If I read your posts right, you mailed your app somewhere around Dec 08th (didn't online app), had to send additional info and didn't get PIN till Jan 16th. And your certificate was statused "Active" by March 27th. That's about 108 days not counting the turnaround time associated with supplying additional info. I hope you filled in DPS Processing Times posting under a different folder on this site. When did your status change to "Processing Application"?Target1911 wrote:Guess What??????

Before God I swear this creed: my pistol and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.
