Return to “Waiting like the rest”
Feels like a ton of weight is off my shoulders now lol. The wait is definitely killer but I feel really bad for those whose applications are taking longer than normal. Probably best for us newly licensed to help support those who are still waitingwinsum45 wrote:Congratz! Nice that the wait is over huh? Although they seem to get most out way before the 60 days, the wait still is a killer. lol
.Thanks!!! Definitely will do the walk soon. You'll definitely get your plastic soon the way things have been trending the past couple of weeks for other folks here.Hot Dawg wrote:Congrats,now for your walk, hopefully I will get an update in a few days
Sadly no plastic in the mailbox today, however I can now recite my drivers license number forwards and backwards.winsum45 wrote:And ...
7/13/15 - Plastic in hand. - No status update on the website yet ... and that is the one thing that I kept trying to use as a reference. However, I do have my new Texas DL # memorized now.

Nice to meet you Winsum. I came from New Jersey (super unfriendly firearm state). You basically have to be a god to get a chl there, in addition to applying for permits to purchase ammunition/gun and get a license to even own a gun. So I never bothered to even apply until I came here. Can't believe how long of a wait you've been enduring, hopefully you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.winsum45 wrote:Welcome. I'm a new resident also. (Michigan)
Here is my timeline:
"New Texas resident from Michigan and hold ... held a Michigan CPL:
05/27/15 - Class
... - wait for Texas D/L to arrive for audit number
05/30/15 - D/L arrived! Online DPS Register/Application, fingerprint scheduled
06/02/15 - Electronic fingerprints/photo, support documents emailed
06/04/15 - Received email that support documents received; no online status update as of yet
<insert Jeopardy music here>"
Still waiting, but hope for receipt soon as it seems many who have submitted at approximately the same time are receiving there's. I suspect the out-of-state check has something to do with the "delay", keeping in mind that they have "60 days" to issue.
Good luck.
Nice assortment of firearms Glockster. I'm still debating what to get next. The p30sk will be my edc so maybe a nice range pistol of some sort. On a side note, what about Glimberhk?Glockster wrote:Well, you know how screen names go...I've always had Glocks and at one point had six. Now I only have my 23 (.40S&W), but also have a Kimber Ultra CDP .45, and my new HK VP40 LE and HK 45 Tactical. But GlockKimberH&K would be a complex screen name!Terryr21 wrote:Nice to meet you Glockster!!! I assume your screen name is such because you own a Glock?Glockster wrote:Welcome to the forum, and welcome to Texas!
This was my own timeline, which might give you some idea of where things are right now with their backlog and that you submitted about 10 days after me:
6/3/15 Initial Application submitted & acknowledged
6/9/15 Fingerprints completed
6/11/15 CHL class completed
6/12/15 Submitted supporting documents
6/12/15 Acknowledgement of supporting documents received
7/1/15 DPS approved, printed
7/6/15 Plastic receivedI have an HK p30sk. Looks like you had to wait just shy of a month to get your plastic. I plan to call next week at the 3 week mark for a status update.
