Playing the Waiting Game

[majorr]

I see that several who have submitted their information about the same time as me have received their plastic or at least had a status change. I did make the phone call yesterday and they tell me that mine is still in the "background check" phase. Super nice lady that I spoke with.
My timeline:
6/4/15 - Filled out Application Online
6/5/15 - Fingerprints
6/6/15 - Class Taken
6/7/15 - All documentation submitted online
6/8/15 - Confirmation email received

I didn't realize how much this "wait" is the same as the Christmas wait was when I was a kid.

Welcome to the forum. I see this is your first post.

I recommend reading this posting to help calm the nerves:

Thanks for allowing me to be a member. I have nothing but time so I will do like some others and continue to carry around the house to become comfortable with my concealment.

Yup. Even though I could and had been carrying under a previous out of state permit, there does seem to be something about wanting to get that piece of Texas plastic in hand.

I noticed some folks saying that they received plastic but never saw a status change on the website. With that said, I made a phone call this morning because I was told last week that mine was in the background process. I've had no status change on the website. This morning I was told that I was approved and I should give it about 7 days to be printed and mailed. I'm ready for the traditional walk.

Assuming I've been looking in the right place, https://txapps.texas.gov/txapp/txdps/chl/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , I still don't have a status change. However, MY PLASTIC HAS ARRIVED!!
My email confirmation was on June 8th and plastic in-hand on July 18th. That's 40 days.

I'm out of here. Good luck to all that are waiting and I've enjoy reading all of your stories. THANKS!

Glad to see you got your plastic.

I thought I would post this for all of those still waiting. I received my plastic on 7/18. My status just changed 9 days AFTER the mail man delivered. I liked it better that way. It was a surprise when it came.
