I have been looking through this forum and reading everything that I can find regarding the turn around time on permit applications. I was advised to start a thread to address my particular situation and see whAt comes back. I reside in Sherman and just applied for my permit on Sept 04. We do not have a local PD but instead are serviced by a resident trooper. When I applied for the permit with him he was very accommodating and did the prints right then and there. We copied the necessary identification and class documentation, and presumably off it went. I have been vetted by the TSA, Secret Service and state department and each time I received my clearance within 48 hours. I was lead to believe, from other sites, that the full process could take between 8 weeks and 4 months. My question is, in light of the fact that I am dealing directly with the CSP will the process go any faster? Also what is a reasonable amount of time to wait before I begin to make inquiries as to the status of the application? Thanks for any info.
