With the current hiring of 20 more temps I thought that the backlog would be decreasing. However, during my last call I was surprised to hear that they are now stating a 51% increase in application, versus the 40% they were saying when I first started calling in. Has anyone else been told this 51% number, or are they still telling you 40%. What about total days. Originally I was told applications where taking between 90-120 days, but one poster has said that they are telling him 120-150 days.

Linda, since he has not submitted his application yet, I may actually talk him in to taking one of your Utah courses. The Texas CHL application fee costs the same as taking your Utah Course, plus the Utah CFP fee. Plus, he would get his license in 2 months instead of 3-4 months. When is your next class?

What is the current "official" time line from DPS on wait times you guys are hearing? Everytime I had called DPS, they were always quick to tell me that they are experiencing a 40% increase in applications over 2007. However, the very last time I called before I received my license they told me that they are now experiencing a 51% increase in applications over last year. That would indicate that the backlog is increasing, and applications are pouring in at a faster rate. Are you guys hearing the same thing?

My brother in law still has not submitted his application (he took class in May) and I'm trying to estimate if he will be getting his license before the end of this year or not.
