Just got the approval email! Couldn't be more relieved/excited since I thought the sheriff was so reluctant to approve me in the interview.

I think it may be 6 months. If you get the call from the investigator and he said everything looks good and it is waiting the sheriffs signature, then you should be OK.

How long is the class good for?

Looked through the penal code for issuing ccw and didn't see any time frame listed. But have seen several people on this thread and others that took the class 3-4 months before approval without an issue. I don't have anything on my record so wasn't worried about denial, just wanted to get the class over with relatively close to issue date.

Initial Application 11/16/2015
Investigator call for more info, employer letter 10/04/2016
Sent employer letter about a week later.
Followed up to see if letter was received, it was 10/25/2016
Call from investigator 10/31/2016

As of 10/31/2016 my file was off to the sheriff for final determination.
I was told, the sheriff has been out of the office a lot and they are running behind.
During the conversations with the background investigator, I was asked, was I ever arrested? I said, no, since I hadn't been. He mentioned a date and charge, I told him, I had received a summons, went to court, dismissed since it wasn't me. He considered that an arrest. I was never in the police station, but the way they write it up, it doesn't spell that out.
He said, any other arrests? I said, no, since again, I didn't believe there was. He mentions another date and incident. I had been questioned with a group of other people and all were released. No court or charges ever. This too, showed up as an arrest without charges.
He said, anything else? I mentioned an old pot bust from 1978, I was 18, got conditional discharge, no bail or anything, no fines. Of course he didn't have that one. The other 2 incidents were 1981 and 1987.
I asked if he felt I had any chance of being approved?
He said, we'll chalk it up to young and stupid, it was so long ago, he didn't think it would be an issue. Just be sure to list it on renewals.
The application asked, any arrests? Even without convictions?
To me arrests are cuffs, rights read, pics and prints etc....
Now I know list every interaction. My problem isn't anything I did or didn't do, it's the not listing the items.
Anyone have any experience with not listing something? As an honest mistake?
I thought it was promising, he said, list on future renewals, as if there may be something to renew.
Hopefully this will be over soon enough.

My timeline: Nov. 22, 2015: Initial interview. Just got an e-mail today saying everything was approved, will pick up my permit next Tuesday, Nov 15. Not quite a year.

My original application was 11/16/2015 and had my follow up call from the investigator early October, needed a letter from my employer. Got him what he needed. He followed up again a couple weeks ago. At that time my file was headed for the sheriff's desk for final determination. Nothing since. I was told sheriff has been out of the office a lot, which is why they are behind. So tired of this long wait.

Not sure. I would wait until you at least get the call and just schedule then. They don't usually fill up. There was only 5 in my class and one was a recert.

Update ony wife's renewal. Her renewal was approved last month but she was advised to wait until the current permit was close to expiration.

We bought her a new carry piece to add prior to her renewal. She qualified with it last weekend. This morning, she went to the SO with certificates for both her original piece and the new one. She was in and out in just under 20 minutes. Not too bad...

I'm a few weeks after my interview. I was thinking of buying some AR lowers. You think that will hinder my approval chances? I wanted to get in before the new law, but don't want to screw up my approval chances.

No. I did that. No issues.

Okay, I guess that makes some sense, then. It's like you're on a probationary period of sorts. Toe the line and prove yourself! Once you get used to carrying, it's hard to think about giving it up.

Yep!
