I'm still going to speak to my Representative because it took nearly twice as long as the law allows.
Good luck to all.

Told you it might be there today! Congratulations!

MrMcCullster wrote:Hey guys,

Newbie here. I posted this in the "Waiting Room" thread, but figured I should also post it here just in case.

Texas DPS Online Application - 5/25/16
IdentoGo Fingerprinting - 5/27/16
LTC Class and Range Qualification - 6/4/16
Supporting Documents Submitted Online and E-mail Confirmation - 6/6/2016
Resubmission of updated CHL-100 Form Online and E-mail Confirmation - 6/20/16
Status Change - ??????
Plastic In Hand - Maybe Christmas (haha) ??????

I started the 60 day clock after 6/6, but received a letter on 6/17 (two weeks time from submission) from DPS saying that my CHL form was incomplete.

The reasoning they gave in the letter was quoted:

"The application you submitted had an incomplete or missing Certificate of Training Form (CHL-100)."

The issue with the form is that my instructor used an Adobe PDF reader to Sign and Fill the text field in the range qualification section to mass produce these forms, but did not do the same thing to in the upper classroom portion. His signature is exactly the same in both sections, but with the printed information not being there, they denied it.

A little work in Adobe Reader to Sign and Fill on the CHL-100 form and I resubmitted to Texas DPS.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, according to the TX DPS FAQ, since they requested more information, they now can slow roll my LTC and have 180 days to issue my license.

Congrats! That is just frustrating to have to wait that long. It seems like there is a lag with the April submittals. There must be some burned out clerk that got all the April submittals and just dragging feet.

Thanks. Statistically, I should have plastic on Monday. We'll see.

Your status changing on a friday may mean you see your plastic in the mail tomorrow. That's what happened with me.

Mine, all docs in and confirmed 18--June-2016
First time, not renewal.

Thank you in advance.

Class 6/18
Application 6/20 (didn't realize I could have done this ahead of taking the class)
Fingerprints 6/22
CHL-100 submitted online 6/23
Confirmation email 6/23

And now we wait. Wife has everything submitted same as above, but will do prints on 6/24. Will be interested to see the difference in wait times.

Just make sure EVERYTHING that is required, is sent. If they receive an incomplete application, the statute gives them 6 months to get to you. I took pictures of my entire package, kept all documentation and emails and even photos of the postmark when all was sent. They only like the parts of the statute that benefit them.

Fair enough. What else is there?
Completed & signed CHL-100 ==> e-submitted (recieved confirmation)
Fingerprints done at IdentoGO, they submit.
Application completed online (received confirmation)

Amazing. Tomorrow is 60 calendar days on my renewal. I'll hit the 45 business day statue on Friday.

I cannot find anywhere in the renewal statute that specifies 45 "business days". It only says by the 45th day. My 45 "business days" are long expired and I am sneaking up on 75 calendar days. I'm beginning to smell a rat.

I haven't looked at the statue but when you talk to them they will definitely say "business" days. Have you called them to remind them they are beyond the statutory limit? Since I'm not a resident anymore I don't have any state rep to call for help. I do have a friend that her dad is a state rep and I plan on asking her for help if I go beyond 45 days.
