After an email to DPS three weeks ago, I got an immediate response that my application was on their desk and they would complete it and send it out, I should get my license in 7 - 10 days. Two weeks later I emailed for a status and got a replay that he was sorry for the delay and he would get it out that day. Well they were finally true to their word and today it showed up in the mail.

Here is my time line (and my wife's)

My Wife
07/02 Class Taken
07/09 Application Mailed
07/10 Application Received
08/09 Pin Received
09/09 Plastic Received

Me
07/02 Class Taken
07/09 Request for certified copies of previous transgressions sent to Hayes county
07/25 Certified copies received
07/28 Application Mailed
07/29 Application Received
08/15 Pin Received
10/31 Emailed DPS, they said its approved and on its way, give it 7-10 days.
11/14 Email again, they apologized for they delay and said that it would be sent out that day.
11/21 Finally, plastic in hand.

While I'm waiting on the print shop, I ordered myself a crossbreed supertuck today.
They said to give them two weeks for delievery.
We will see which is here first!

I ordered one Sunday before last and received the Supertuck in 5 days. I wished I had gotten the combat grip, but I didnt. There is just too much leather to get a good grip on the pistol. I trimmed it myself and it now functions perfectly. Unfortunately it is not as professional looking as it could have been. Now if I could just get my CHL, I am a couple of days shy of 60. My wife got hers two weeks ago, exactly 60 days after DPS received her application.

My wife just received her plastic. We were pleasantly surprised, we did not our expect licenses until around Halloween. Hopefully I am only a couple of weeks away.
Anyway here is our timeline;
