Got my plastic yesterday , seems like it took forever . I had made several phone calls to DPS as to what was going on, "Just Processing" canned answer. Finally had enough called my State Rep, got a call from DPS the next day saying they were expiditing my application, then nothing. About a moth later I had given up hope, out of the blue my Reps assistant called to see if I had recieved my CHL. After I explained no, she said she would take care of it, that was at 11:00am, DPS called me at 4:00pm that day said I had been approved and it would be on the way, took another week to get the plastic. Give your Reps a call it worked for me. Good luck all !!.

I took the CHL class in the beginning of January at Shooters Station in Conroe. Sent the packet in the next day , and had to wait a 3 weeks for a pin number. Finally got the Processing application phase in March, and been there ever since. I had made several calls to see what was happening to the application and got every excuse in the book. The past week and a half was they had a computer virus, and to call back in a few days. I did and they said well we still have to do a criminal background check and that could take 1 to 2 months to do. I had enough , I emailed my state senator for this district, and figured that I might hear back in a week or so. Well the next day (Almost 24 hours since I emailed the rep) I got a call from the DPS, and they said they were expiditing my application immediately, because the rep had called them about my email. Thank you Senator Nicholes .
