Woo Hoo!!! Finally. Plastic received today. I'm officially out of the Waiting Room.

Good Luck to the rest of the September Applicants.

I think I'm one of the last of the September applicants to finally get this,

"Application Completed - license issued or certificate active".


I'm stoked...

I sure hope so.

This is encouraging..

Now comes the mailbox wait.

Only thing is, the status on the website has not changed yet.

The status will not change until the card comes back from the printer and is checked for accuracy. It WILL change when the card is mailed.

Well.... After another email sent by me, I got this response from the Texas DPS,

"Your application is complete and your license was mailed on 12/7/09. Please allow time for delivery. Thank you and have a nice day."

We'll see....

As am I.

I have been inquiring via emails. Last email as of yesterday was the same as Friday. I had a MIP arrest when I was 17 (26 years ago), I self reported (probably not the best idea but oh well), and the email states the application has been sent to a technician to "clear" that arrest. I replied that since a MIP is a Class C Mis., and it happened over 25 years ago, that it was not a disqualifier. The rep stated that she did not know how long it would take the "Technician" to clear this, and that once that is done, the license will be issued. Since the Rep working my emails has been VERY patient and is quick to reply, and I have a good rapport (as can be expected), I try not to pester her too much. Since I won't get this till after thanksgiving, I won't email them back till I get back from vacation.

Does anyone know what format an email to Texas DPS needs to be in?


I mean, what info needs to be in the email for an inquiry into the status of one's CHL?

Hello to all. Been lurking for a while. Things seem optomistic when I see the shorter approval times.
