I sent my things a couple days ahead of you, so I hope my turn is coming up soon. I'm in Bryan/College Station too, so this might disprove the theory about applications being sorted by county.

Counties with small population would probably get a quicker turn around. I have lived in Collin and Denton counties for the past 10 years. Two of the largest with hundreds of applications each week. Now it begins to make sense. Day 35 and counting....

But aren't all the applications going to Austin for processing? I'm wondering why there is such a large variation of wait times. Did people who got a faster turn around mail, fax, or online submit their docs?

How is everyone's turnaround times so quick? I'm on 3 weeks, and I called today only to have them say that they have all my documents (as they did last week, they were confirmed the 13th of Feb), but the gentleman said that I'm way too early and it would still be another month wait. Is this the same thing they tell everybody? I don't have any arrests, DWIs, etc and sent the scan of my CHL-100 online.
