Took my class 12/29 (my auto-birthday present!)

Finally got together the records I needed and sent it off 1/28.

Got a letter back around 2/5 or so needing photo redone.

Took forever getting back to my instructor, finally sent new photo back in 3/1

3/4 Status finally changed to "Processing Application"

cdcannon - hang in there - if you track to the processing averages, you'll have your CHL in hand in only two more weeks !!!

px4 pirtle - CONGRATS - enjoy those super self-conscious first few days of carrying !!!

I was busy yesterday and didn't check until this morning.It looks like the technician review takes about 2 weeks if you have everything included in your application.

df8005 - bang on - going to a technician translates into a 14-day holding pattern - you are ALMOST done !!!

px4 pirtle - almost there - we're getting dangerously close to everyone being across the finish line in our JAN2010 class !!!

PS your CHL comes in a pretty plain looking white envelope with your name on a label - nothing inside except the plastic !!!

jeelliott71 - CONGRATS !!!

and today, having just received my plastic via first class mail, i join you and the thousands of others here, and around this great country of ours, that have embraced the constitutional right and social obligation to carry a firearm...

PS it'll be so much more comforting now to not have to leave the dang thing in the car anymore !!!

here's a kewl looking screenshot !!!



really nice to see this online status validate the update via the email exchange with DPS yesterday...

PS if i had a $1 for everytime i checked the status during the last 45 days, could buy another pistol or TWO for sure !!!

after a quick email exchange before lunch today with DPS, learned that "the license has been printed. you should receive it with 1-2 weeks." which i am very relieved and excited to hear - although my status still says processing just for the record, marked myself as "complete" in my own stats - now for the mailbox stakeout !!!

df8005 - i'm in the same boat my friend - my file, per Rene, has been with a technician since 2/4 so i'm hoping the worst of the penalty box is behind me - could just be the same luck as being pulled out of the security line at the airport for a detailed bag search - not sure - nothing in my criminal record - in the meantime, i'm staying hopeful and seeing the others get their licenses keeps me confident that the DPS hasn't closed all together on me !!!

msc182 - CONGRATS - that makes yesterday an "8" on the rictor scale - 8 brand new CHL holders - dang !!!

southendxgf - CONGRATS - and correction, there were the "magnificient 7" who crossed the finish line yesterday !!!

rye956, swede and spaz563 - CONGRATS - big day for the JAN 2010 applicants with 6 crossing the finish line !!!

causeican, mojotexas and razrbak - CONGRATS - looks like the mail man delivered for you guys today !!!
