I was informed that my license was approved today and being sent to the "printers"!!! With the holidays and all it may take 2-3 weeks to receive it in the mail. Online status hasn't changed yet on the dps website, But I will update when it does!

Made my day for sure!

CONGRATS ExMM!!! It has been one heck of a wait...good news at last.

ES4Me wrote:Well...as of 0930 this morning, online status shows "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active".

Congrats ES4Me!!! At least the weather isn't too cold for camping out by that mailbox.

ChrisSA, congrats! Continue to hang in there ExMarlboroMan.

There have been posts by others who have contacted their Representative and had very favorable results. It may help yours too, after all, there isn't much else you can do so go ahead and use that guy that got elected to help you.

I remember while on active duty. When someone, be it parent or whoever, got their Congressman involved to look into the actions of a military unit involving their specific soldier, that soldier's unit had 24 hours to get a response back up the Chain of Command. It is a pretty big deal, causes lots of stress at the unit level whether they are in the right or wrong. It becomes priority number one for all those involved and their utmost attention is focused on that Congressional. I don't know just how much stress is caused within DPS when a Representative gets involved, but it sounds like they get some pretty quick answers. You might want to go this route at this point.

I am a happy CHL holder now. Ms AmmoTwo said as she handed me the envelope "It's time for your Wally Walk!". She was quite excited to see that it came today as well.

CONGRATULATIONS! How did THE WALK go?

ES4Me, I've not been able to get out of the house yet. Had ear surgery yesterday and I am a bit under the weather...but as soon as I can get these bandages off I will definitely be out there. Hoping for middle of the week at the latest.

Plastic in hand!!

I don't doubt you LarryH, you are probably correct...but it has been 5 business days since my status has changed and still no plastic. I am so close to Austin that when I sent them my packet "certified with return receipt requested" they received it the very next day. I would think sending my CHL without any type of tracking action should get to me just as quickly.

Okay, been inside long enough to get warm and top off my thermos with coffee...heading back out to the mailbox.

To my remaining September 2009 brothers and sister, hang in there!!!

Been a cold couple of days out by the mailbox...maybe tomorrow it will come.

es4me, got my fingers crossed for ya. They certainly have you jumping through hoops. Hang in there, it will come.

Based upon the roll call we had a couple pages back there is probably about 4-5 guys/gals from September still patiently waiting. Or maybe not-so-patiently waiting. At any rate, hopefully theirs will be complete very soon.

81 aggie - Thanks, and you've got that right. I just hope they continue to maintain a enough staff to contend with all the renewals that will start filtering in a few years.

Status finally changed sometime between 2000hrs last night and 0730 this morning. I got the great news:

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

Hope to see my plastic by Wednesday. WooHoo!!
