I mailed my application in April of 2008. They sent it back to me in July of 2008 because I forgot to complete how many months I was at one of the addresses. I corrected the application and mailed it back in again and then received another letter back on November 29, 2008 stating that I now had 90 days to send them a Certified Criminal History Report from the previous state that I lived in. I mailed my request to Jacksonville, Florida along with my money order on 12/1/2008. I did not get the report back from the BOZO'S in Jacksonville until January 12, 2008. I called the Texas Department of Public Safety to confirm the correct mailing address so that I would not get dinged because of missing a date dead-line. I just looked at the on-line status for my CHL and this is what I find "No application or license/certificate active.".
I called and the girl said that I have to speak to Miriam. Transferred me to Miriams voice mail as Miriam leaves work at 4:30PM each day.
So, I have met ALL of their requests, in the time-line that they have asked me and I am still apparently getting the F'ing shaft! I have never felt like such a criminal before. This is what happens when the government gets involved with things that are NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS! For those of you who support any form of gun control--let me be one of many to tell you that ONLY the law abiding citizens get punished with "gun control". The criminals go about life unencumbered. That's government for you. Here I sit with no CHL and I am at 9 months & counting..
