I got a letter today that said DPS couldn't process my application because the fingerprints weren't on file. My wife got one too. The letters were dated the day after we visited FAST. I called and the nice machine said there was a 17 minute wait but it then offered to call me back when my turn came up. What the heck... I went for it.

About 15 minutes later the phone rang and it was the nice machine again informing me that I was next in line. Very shortly a nice lady with a bubbly personality came on the line and listened to my issue. She very quickly looked up my application, informed me that the fingerprints had been received and that in fact my CHL had been issued already and was in the mail.
It should arrive tomorrow (er, later today now I guess looking at the clock).

Three days from fingerprinting to plastic in the mail. I love Texas!
