1/5/16. Applied for LTC
1/17/16 Fingerprints submitted
1/18/16. LTC Class
1/21/16. Confirmation email from RDS

Called serval times to check status of application, was told 4 different stories, tired of calling and getting the run around so new timeline below.

3/13/16. Email my state representative
3/14/16. Received call from a supervisor at DPS telling me she is personally processing my application and it will be sent to print before Thursday (3/17/16)

3/15/16. Received an email from my representative's Chief of Staff asking if RDS reached out to me. Told her what was discussed and thanked her office for the help, her reply was glad we could help.

If you are tired of getting the run around from DPS email your state representative, I read somewhere on this forum that DPS does not like having state representatives poking their noses in DPS' business. It worked for me.

Good luck.
Good tip. Thanks for sharing. I emailed my state reps and also the office of Gov. Greg Abbott yesterday. My state rep's office called me back a few hours later and Greg Abbott's office emailed me to say they were following up with DPS management on my behalf. Hopefully I can get a reaction from them by going over their heads. DPS service sucks. :smash:

I don't think the words "communication" and "expedite" are in DPS' vocabulary.

2/9/16- Took CHL Class
2/15/16 Did CHL application online /mailed CHL 100

2/29/16 Also emailed CHL 100
3/3/16 Email Confirmation
3/9/16 Website Changed
3/14/16 Plastic in mail

*** Just an FYI for all of you still waiting and losing hope, on the CHL website, where it asks to contact them send an email to them and tell them to PLEASE expedite your application. Trust me it worked for me and my other 4 friends, and call everyday at around 8:30 and you will get through! I you mailed your CHL 100 email it to them as well. I only called once and they said noone asks to expedite through the email contact on their site and they have a different department that checks those. Please try that and i promise it works!
Interesting timeline...looks like you have the fastest turn around in recent history. I applied about a month and a half before you and don't have my license yet.

I'll try emailing to request they expedite my license. I'm a little wary of your timeline, and your post count. Seems...suspect. Pardon me if I'm wrong.
