Website Changed this morning. Did yours doombuggy?Slydragon wrote:Nice, I'll post here once my websites changes or I get plastic.doombuggy110 wrote:Alright, just got a call back. My license was approved and SENT TO PRINT on 3/24. It is now officially on its way to me. She said I should see the website change within 48 hours, but because the campus is so big there in Austin, it takes a while once it's been printed to get out of the building and to the post office, thus the 7-10 business days. She kinda hinted it'd be less, but I should see it and the status change soon. Should be one MAYBE two days for it to show up in my mailbox.Slydragon wrote:Same here, got that email with same date buy no plastic and no website change, following your post closely.doombuggy110 wrote:Another day, still no status change, still no plastic. I got some mail from Kentucky and from NJ that was sent out Friday and Monday before I've gotten the supposed plastic coming from San Antonio or Austin (I'm in between both in San Marcos)... I seriously doubt that my license was actually issued at this point.
EDIT: I called that DPS number and got a manager within the RSD who is looking into it. She said that was very strange and that I should have received it Saturday or Monday unless the email was a mistake. Oh joy.
Best of luck to you! Hopefully we'll be freeing up some spots in the Waiting Room soon!

Same here, got that email with same date buy no plastic and no website change, following your post closely.doombuggy110 wrote:Another day, still no status change, still no plastic.

Same, email said same date but no website change and nothing in the mail today and I'm in San Antonio. Maybe tomorrow.doombuggy110 wrote:So I got that strange reply email saying my card was printed and mailed as of 3/25. I'm 45 minutes from Austin, usually mail up there is one day. Still nothing as of today. But our post office is a joke. No status change, no plastic as of 3/28... Hoping for tomorrow. Anyone else in a similar boat with the status not changing? I've lost all trust in what they say, so no plastic after three mail days coming from so close and no status change makes me highly suspicious...
I was all in around 1/6-8. Best of luck to all y'all still waiting and congratulations to those of you who have gotten yours!
After reading this I sent a very nice email, Not asking to make my app any faster but wanted to confirm that all paperwork and prints were received. I stated I know I have a long wait ahead of me but just wanted to make sure everything was in order as I didn't want to wait all that time just for a letter saying something wasn't turned in correctly. I thank them for reading my email and told them any info would help but if not I understand.Slydragon wrote:almost same timeline,electrician6977 wrote:My timeline:

*** 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!
My timeline,
CHL class on 2/11/2016

Dang, you give me hope for something sooner, I had everything turned in by 2/22 and reading up was thinking end of June the earliest for me. See what happens.Dougie07 wrote:First time poster, I have been following everyone else's timeline so here is mine as I got my plastic in the mail today.
1/18/16- Application online
1/21/16- Fingerprinted
1/23/16- Class
1/25/16- Mailed CHL-100 via snail mail
I checked the DPS website this morning and it had "updated". I did not check it daily but sometime between 3/7 and 3/10 it switched over.
3/10/16- Recieved LTC
55 days from application
48 days from mailing CHL-100
I was not expecting it until later this month but hopefully that means they are spitting them out faster.
