As I stated previously after contacting 4 state reps, I got my CHL within a few days of contacting them. I keep getting follow-up letters from them even now!

Well I checked it tonight and it says "No application or license/certificate active." What happened? I did recieve the letter saying that there will be delays because of Ike. I live in Brazoria county. What should I do? Thanks.

You probably hit the link for Instructor Lic. I know this because I did it too :).

Plastic today yay!

Thanks

The DPS got my app on July 16th and the letter with my PIN # was dated Aug 8th. From reading other posts, many others who had thier apps recieved around the same time had thier PIN # letters dated the 8th as well.

Yay after 99 days they finally approved my application! Although I did contact 2 state reps, the Lt. Gov and the Gov offices. I heard back from 1 state rep and the Gov office on my delay, both of which I feel got my application through being over 90 days old. I even had a message today on the phone from the DPS telling me I was approved. The state rep's office said my license was mailed out Wed. It is nice to see some elected officials helping you when you ask!

COME ON USPS lol!!!

Later in the day now I had a message from the 2nd state rep (Senator) about wanting more info from me to address the delay. It said they get quite a few calls on this delay, but they try to get those with longer wait times (such as myself) moved up on the list.

So word of advice is contact your reps as it seams to do some good!

So a coworker calls me this morning to tell me his status changed to active! He sent in his packet 4-5 weeks after me and had 62 days total before status change. I am at day 98!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate em! I guess the huge pile on that desk is getting higher and higher with my info somewhere on the bottom!

I am at day 87 since DPS has received my packet... sigh... Funny how I was told via email from them about 20 days ago that my App is in the "Final stage of processing"! I guess that is the loooongest step!
