Now the wait is on again!

I applaud your persistence and dedication on cleaning things up, and following through on getting your CHL. Some could have just packed it in. As a recently anointed CHL’er, I can guarantee you after you receive the plastic, all the effort will be well worth it. Keep on keeping on. Hopefully Santa will give you an extra special stocking stuffer this Christmas.

We talked for about 45 mins and then he asked if he could call my wife to corroborate what i told him. I said yes and gave him the number, he called her on speaker phone and asked her some questions, including if she was ok with me carrying a "pistol" and she answered excellently!

You do know what you have to do now, of course.

Congratulations, and thanks for posting. This has been one of the most informative threads of the year.

What now Jim?

For your wife's endorsement, at least do the dishes and laundry for the rest of the year and give her a foot massage every evening.

There are plenty of wives and some husbands who are skeptical about their spouse carrying.

haha she said she agrees wholeheartedly !

She took her CHL class last saturday, and will be mailing her packet on monday!

Great. Good luck to both of you.

Turnaround times seems to be coming down to the 40- to 60-day range. It stinks for the people who have been waiting four to six months.

Well I got another letter from the Texas state health services today saying they received a medical history form but did not receive a authorization to release medical information form. They sent me another one, Which I have signed and will mail back to them tomorrow.

The letter was dated Dec. 8 , and I take it that the DPS has not yet even received any word from them soooooooo I'll be waiting some more.

[ExMarlboroMan]

Found my thread posted in another thread!

The update from the last post is that everything arrived at the DPS, and with a little help from a "friend" in the know, the dps expedited my paperwork and my chl arrived shortly there after. Been carrying ever since and proud of it.
