I happened to pull out my CHL as a photo ID ... they noted that the name, because of the middle initial, did not match the voter registration, so we looked at the DL. I don't think it would have been a problem ... was more of an observation. I have no problem with showing a photo ID. It should be ma...

When I went to vote, one of the personnel pointed out that my CHL just has my middle initial and my driver's license has my full middle name. Is it OK that they are different? He noticed because my voter registration has my full middle name ... I initially used my CHL for ID and they then asked me i...

I will definitely renew sooner the next time. The folks I talked to a couple of times at RSD indicated that the "fingerprint review" by the FBI was the slow step. I wondered if that slowness might be the result of the disagreement between the administration and Congress -- Congress is not ...

Well, my wait is over!

It showed up yesterday.

Nov. 28 to Feb 27 -- 92 calendar days, 61 business days. The web page did not change until one day before it arrived.

My concern now is that I've been on vacation for the last week -- just got back yesterday. I placed a hold on my mail with USPS for a week, but it is unclear whether they held anything. At least one package that was still delivered to my mailbox despite the hold (some allergy meds) appears to have b...

My status page changed today -- now I see the options for lost or stolen license, etc. I guess I should receive it within a few days.

And still waiting. Got through on their phone system last Thursday; was told a supervisor would call me back on Friday or Monday. Got no call. Am I correct that my renewed LTC will still expire on the same date ... i.e., I'm paying for time consumed by bureaucratic incompetence?

Still waiting. It has been 83 calendar days now (53 business days). Tried calling a couple of time and they are not answering the phones.

Guess I'll be e-mailing my state senator soon. Fortunately I've got one of the conservative ones here in San Antonio. She'll probably help me out.

I'll be sure to renew as soon as I get the notification next time. :) It's been 76 days (about 50 business days, omitting holidays and weekends) since I submitted. Seems like this is a bit excessive for what should be a quick process. Going on vacation to New Mexico in a week ... would really like m...

I wonder if it would have been better to submit new prints. Seems like whatever process (or complete lack thereof) they have in place for reviewing existing prints is the bottleneck. I'm getting annoyed now, since folks are getting new plastic faster than renewals.

Still waiting. It seems like renewals are moving more slowly than new apps.

Same here. They reminded me 6 months prior ... I was lazy and delayed renewing online until November. They charged my card immediately with the online renewal. This is my first renewal.

Got a call back in response to the e-mail query I sent them awhile back. My application is apparently at the "fingerprints under review" stage. It's a renewal, so they are using the same ones I submitted back in 2010.

I wish the state would send a receipt or something when you submit a renewal -- My CHL is part of my qualification for ordering from the CMP . . . might help if I could somehow prove it's been in process since November. This may have cost me a chance to buy an M1 carbine from the CMP. Why is the sta...
