Since the Pin# was issued on 9/13/05...

I would say that that is when they actually started getting your information in the packet entered into the system, and distribute the fingeprint cards to the prospective agencies, assigned you to an investigator's pile of stuff, and off you go...

Once all the information comes back to that investigator, and there are no "hits" that need additional attention, it'll be forwarded to the licence production folks who put it all in license form with all the other folks at that point, and churn them out slap it in an envelope, and off it goes to your mailbox...

If nothing causes them to take another look at you, or if they "don't" have a problem with the quality of the fingerprints (this has been the latest hiccup they manufacture), I still think you'll see it in early November...

If you get it before then, Merry Christmas...

I've been seeing a 90 day turn around...I saw your first post indicating a Sept 29th deal and marked up from there...

I still think you might see it during the first half of November...

You're getting close...

I'd probably make another phone call(s) starting the first week in November, if of course, you don't see it in the mail...

By all means let us know when you get it...

If they don't have any flags pop up on the investigation, or some "other" issue (which is not your fault)...

I'd put money on late November, early December...But thats just my guess...

Its a painful wait, I know...

This is your initial permit right??? Not a renewal???

Chas, would it be possible to make a sticky with the above listed phone numbers?

Thats a good idea...

The phone numbers being the main thing, maybe with a direct link to the TxDPS CHL website...

Well...Look at it this way...At least they hung up on you...

They didn't make you wait on hold...They had some interesting elevator music in the background, the last time I called...

It sounded like KennyG doing some Metallica on a low-power AM radio station...

I was very close to contemplating the last words of Socrates...

"I drank what???"
