IF that is the allegation then it is not the real reason because they have access to Tulsa's system and one person here has said they were told to go to TPD.
They told me the same thing MB. I had to hit the TPD to get the background run, then take that over to TCSO for the filing, etc.
Someone had actually mentioned the database issue as well, stating that TCSO couldn't run the checks anymore. *shrug* I spent the extra 30 minutes, got the paperwork done (btw, the gal at the TPD desk that did the lookup? Not a "happy" lady), and a couple months later I had my license in hand.
It wasn't too bad, but it was a bit tedious.
