Finally my status reads: "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active" I guess the DPS folks were not just pulling my chain or telling me what I wanted to hear. I am from Houston but lived and worked in Bell, Travis and Harris Counties for the past 13 years. App sent on 3/...

UPDATE: So after being on day 150 + i placed another call to DPS. Although my online status has not changed from Procesing it has been sent for printing....wait for it...wait for it. They had to send it back bc it was printed incorrectly so it will be another few weeks for me.

So just got off the phone with DPS after encroaching upon day 150. Since May 15th my status has been "we are waiting on background check"....Surprise surprise the background check came back today....she indicated that was what they were waiting on but she seemed surprised it was back. She ...

Its extremely appalling that some folks in the April crowd who mailed their apps a full month after I did have received their plastic.

Day 127.... ugh!!!!

Today is offically day 117....I am Harris county so this is just par for the course. I'd complain but who would listen

I would definitely reccomend checking today if you mailed during March timeframe as DPS updated the site over the weekend and several of our comrades also reported a change in status.

My status was finally changed to processing this morning when i checked. I really hope the remainder goes off without a hitch.

So how long do you wait before you start rattling their cage? I just checked today and my status is still "Packet mailed to app" and my return receipt from sending my packet in is dated March 10th! I used the packet given out from the instructor for my submittal, paid online and sent in m...

General question about change in status: Is there a strong likelihood because of the understaffing with the CHL division that your change in status (i.e. from Packet Mailed to App TO Processing App) could be reported much later than when the actual status changing. Just not sure how the updating mec...

For all of you Harris County applicants, a little bird told me that a big stack of applications (the pile mine was in) just got dropped off at the Houston office Monday of this week! (mine was in Austin January 15th) I am not exactly sure of where thay have been up until now but, Austin, in a bag, ...

I'm in wait mode too..
