I was placed on deferred adjudication for a non-violent offense as an adult 10 years ago. waited the 5 year grace period after probation discharge and dismissing of proceedings to get an order of non-disclosure sealing my record. Public records do not show anything on me however this information can be seen by selected govt. agencies and regulatory bodies.

Legally- I could of answered no to any criminal arrest, and disregard filling out the CHL-78C - and submitting certified dispositon, discharge/dismissal of proceedings, and order of non disclosure- BUT - I did not want to give DPS any excuse to delay the process, or give them any perception of me giving misleading information- so I disclosed everything anyway. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TO DO THE SAME. below is my application timeline:

App submitted : 5/8/17
Supporting documents: 5/10/17 ( with the exception of order of non-disclosure)
Order of ND submitted: 5/11/17 ( once a record has been sealed, it takes some time for arresting county to unseal the file and provide documents)
Status progress viewable: 5/17/17

Everything is green with the exception of :
Fingerprints: Under review
Background check : under review

I plan on calling the RSD today to confirm that they have recieved my document submittal of non disclosure , once verified ( hoping to avoid a letter for more information) I will post more as status changes.

EDIT: I called RSD and have confirmed that they do have all of my 78C documentation. I Called the same day the status the viewable on the website- so hopefully I will not get a letter or any delays!

way to rub it in you jerk ! :) :)

Marcotanquinobjj, I think you should read my last post on what just happened with mine. Since our situations are very similar, I think this will give you a bit more hope and confidence!

Submitted App and Paperwork: 5/3/17
Fingerprints Done: 5/5/17
All Green but Background Check: 5/11/17
Background Check Complete: 5/12/17
Print Pending: 5/12/17

I'm 33 and have never had anything other than a couple speeding tickets, but I'm still shocked that I went from application submission to everything green and print pending in just 9 days. I figured it would take several weeks at the quickest. I had also told myself I wasn't going to check my status every day like an anxious person after my fingerprints were submitted, but that went out the window by 5/9.

I can now add:
Mailed: 5/16/17

So 11 days (7 working days) from them receiving everything they needed to them putting my license in the mail!

I already submitted my disposition, and it was actually a certified disposition from the county clerk courthouse. I uploaded and submitted it along with my application and all my other original supporting documents such as the CHL-100, fingerprints, etc. I just sent it all at once at the very beginning of applying. I am hoping this is going to help and cut down on my wait time since I just submitted it with everything with my application at the beginning.

I did the same thing. submitted my application on 5/8/17. Uploaded CH-100, certified disposition, and took fingerprints on 5/10/17. Also realized it would be good to submit my certified order of non-disclosure as well and uploaded that 5/11/17. All documents submitted before the DPS status website showed any progress on the individual checks. Checked this morning and it still hasn't fully been processed showing the steps progress of each. I too am hoping that doing all of this on the front end expedites the whole process.


I told myself that I would not look at it until this Friday 5/19, and that went right through the window. It was like I blacked out and checked the status without really realizing it. Now I have been doing it daily. I normally do not have patience when it comes things like this, Like a dog waiting by the window for its owner to come home :/

It usually takes about a week for your status to appear, or at least in my case it did. I submitted my application on 4/10/17, fingerprints and supporting documentation on 4/11/2017. I got a verification email the day after from RSD on 4/12/17 saying all my supporting documentation had been received. It was exactly 7 days after that verification email that my progress status appeared on 4/19/2017 showing everything. Did you get a verification email back from RSD yet saying they received all your supporting documentation?

Yes sir. On 5/11 I did, that email is what prompted me to also submit the certified order of non-disclosure for my only hiccup on my record. If I do not see anything updated on 5/17- I will email and call them. I am not affraid to be a respectful pest :)

I would check exactly a week later, so on the 18th. That would be a full week just like mine. I know how you feel, I keep checking my status everyday like 3 times a day lol. Currently, it's stuck on fingerprints under review and background check under review, print pending of completion. I was hoping that submitting everything at once would expedite the process and make things go faster. I have read some really fast turnaround times, from a couple weeks to 30 or 45 days, and all the way until the statute of 60 days. Then I have read of people that have gone 90 and 120 days, but they didn't submit their dispositions originally. They ended up getting a letter for more information, etc. The statute is that they have 60 days to approve the application once a fully completed application is turned in, which includes any supporting documents, or to ask for more information during those 60 days. Since we sent our dispositions in as part of our supporting documents with our original application, I can't think of any hold-ups or reasons why we would take any longer than the 60 days. I keep checking my status about 3 times a day hoping maybe it will be faster, even though I know that I'm only at the 30 day mark and they really still have another 30 days lol. Believe me, I know how you feel.

I sent all my information like this at the beginning and they then sent me a letter. Called them up and asked if the information I originally sent was what they needed. They then checked and said yes. One month later I am at mailed.
