Oh good grief. There's no excuse for that kind of hold up! I'm mad with you!

It's time to start the emailing and telephone campaign to your state rep, senator, and governor's office.
Sorry your wait has been so long. Oh! that's just plumb ridiculous!

Thanks for your support. I just got done emailing my senator, representative and the Govenor. Hopefully they can help.

..... on day 156 after receiving a PIN.

For what its worth, I received plastic 3 business days after the web said application complete.

Now I need to figure out how to comfortably carry my Colt Combat Commander.

The thing that I dont understand is that the wife and I took the class together and sent in paper work in the same envelope, the only difference was that I had my fingerprint cards returned for signature She had nothing returned and our applications were shown to be competed on the same day. Go figure. Both applications were done online and prepaid.

Long, agonizing wait.

Oh yeah, the dreaded Harris County.

We can take my name off the February list, my plastic arrived in today's mail and I am holding it in my hand. All the information looks correct. Everything seems fine. Dare I say my initial CHL app process may officially be over? There's got to be a catch.

Where is the emoticon for 'cautiously optimistic'?

Idaho dropped off application April 4/3/2009, plastic in hand 5/22/2009. Not so worried about my Texas license now it can get here when it gets here.

Got my Texas CHL on Friday, after only 5 months. Talk about efficiency. :D
