That's music to my ears CW....congrats, congrats, congrats!!!!!

Are you in Harris County Karen??? And yes, patience is a must with this process.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Thanks Nighthawk...it was a long wait, but well worth it...and it wouldn't have gotten done without my state rep's help...I'm sure of that.

CW....don't wait, retaliate!!!! And by retaliate I really mean just bug the heck out of your state rep, and demand that they call DPS on your behalf. It's their job to help, and you need help at this point. Who is your rep? Send an email first stating your claim and the time frame. Then call if that doesn't get you anywhere. Good luck, and let me know if you need any help.

...mine was also overnighted...received it at 9am promptly. I can't imagine life without it now...sorry for gloating, but it is so freaking nice....

The day has come ladies and gentlemen.....I am a proud member of the CHL family.....wooooooooooohoooooooooo

Taking the Wally Walk this afternoon.....will keep you posted...this is like Christmas morning....

CW...this is what I wrote:

Hello Senator Whitmire and staff. As a member of

the senators district I was wondering if I could

ask for a little help. I submitted my CHL

paperwork to the D.P.S. offices in late July of

this year, and am concerned about the extensive

delay in processing the licenses. I have recently

(March 2008) suffered a stroke and was diagnosed

with multiple brain lesions which have left me

with some neurological deficits (extensive

neuropathic pain and a nice little limp). As a

fit 35 year-old man I used to be sure of my

ability to defend myself, but have become less

sure of that after the stroke. I was wondering if

you could place a call on my behalf to D.P.S. to

expedite the process to guarantee a timely receipt

of the license; the piece of mind is invaluable in

such unsure times in our great city. Thank you in

advance, and please feel free to call me for

support in any way.

Congrats Lonestar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll join you manana!!!!!!

Nice purchases Firegirl....well played with the hubby too!! Spoke to Judy at DPS...license is in the mail today and will be delivered tomorrow morning....but get this-it might not be active in the system!!!! Whatever....I'm just happy to get that sucker!!!! She said that it should be active by tomorrow night...Wally Walk time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still no CHL.....Judy at DPS said that she entered my info wrong, and the print shop never received my order for the changed address.... this whole thing is getting ridiculous....day 84

thank you.....a third party whose sole responsibility is to process BC and licenses is what we need....I'll sign the petition......

I have a love-hate relationship with Harris County.....

I'm glad that I can be the first from H-town to get their license from the August batch (I think)....Judy said that they(DPS Houston) was finally sending completed BC to the Austin office(done electronically not snail mail)....so there is hope everyone...I'll post as soon as it arrives...hopefully by Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!
