I called, waited about 30 min on hold finally I got someone and they transferred me to the technician who was handling my application. She said all I would need to do was fax a copy of the dismissal slip from court and she would clear my app. So should be pending manufacture soon!
5 weeks for fingerprints, how did you do them?rhino8005 wrote:Urggggg....DPS received my packet on 1/25, 5 weeks later still waiting on fingerprints and background to complete. I had high hopes after reading several Jan apps had quick processing. Since i log in twice a day looking for updates, i think DPS is toying with me now!

I'm just going to schedule a time with L1. I don't think I HAVE to wait for the "bad prints" letter. Or do I?

"MAILED" today!!!!
Received my plastic and new Air Marshal holster todayafter a bit of drama/prank by my loving wife.
I arrived home to find the mail lying on the count. The envelope on top was from the "DPS Department of Licensing", I immediately started doing the happy dance.... I ripped the envelope open and found my wife's new drivers license inside, my heart sank!!! I did a quick double take of the addressee on the front of the envelope and it was address to me???? I must have had a really stupid look on my face because my dearest start laughing her head off!!!!! She was nice enough to hand me my license before she started rolling around on the floor bust'n a gut.
For the record I have decided pay back is in order!!!!!!!
Time for my wally walk
You're about 9 days behind me and we're both in the same boat. I had a few Class C misdemeanors way back in 90-93, and sent in the corresponding paperwork(well actually paperwork that showed I had no records on file), but I called and actually waited about 25 minutes till I talked to someone who told me 60 days is the norm, but there have been a few fast issues.rmr1923 wrote:i haven't posted in this thread in a while, here's my current status:
12/31/10 - took class, online application completed
1/3/11 - mailed materials to DPS
1/6/11 - received by DPS
today - everything green except background check... nothing's changed in the past 3 weeks since the fingerprint status went green.
i did have several previous addresses (moved a lot in college) and one prior juvenile arrest (class B misdemeanor in january 2000), but i didn't expect it to take this long to at least hear SOMETHING from the DPS. they were responding to emails at first and told me that if they needed court records they'd mail me a letter, but so far nothing's come in the mail and they won't respond to email or phone inquiries with anything other than "we're still running your background check".
i have found that as more time has passed, i haven't been nearly as anxious about how quickly i'll get my CHL as i was in the first couple weeks after taking the course. the past month has been pretty busy at work and i got a promotion yesterday, so i've at least had a few things to distract my attention away from waiting for the DPS.
I would go by mail in date, as that is when the process actually begins.loadedliberal wrote:i was torn between the two figured i go with the earlier dateShouldn't you start at February thread then"?
