So wassup has your wife been getting to the mail first and just hid it to torture you? Has Mrs. Strider come up with any labor intensive honeydos lately. "rlol"

Sorry...I just logged on...I've been cleaning toilets and ironing my wife's dresses...have I missed anything?

This is pure torture! I think it will take longer to arrive in the mail than it did to go through the entire approval process!!! :crazy:

Don't count Sundays in this. It takes about 4 business days to get to you. Some people, who live closer to Austin, have been getting it in one to two days.

Much appreciated! :tiphat: Figured it would only take a day or two...

RAM4171 is a very close friend of mine and, of course, he proceeded to tell me about the big Austin Post Office fire 2 days ago... :mrgreen:

You have given a lost soul hope again...maybe tomorrow!

Hope yours shows up soon! Mine went to "mailed" 2 days after first status change!

But it finally arrived today! :woohoo :cheers2: :anamatedbanana :rock" :txflag:

Man, that has got to be 2 of the longest, most frustating 2 weeks I've had in the last 2 weeks!!! (Although, in reality, I know it went through silly fast!)

Not sure how it works with instructors. Hopefully they don't start back at square 1. :nono:

I'm sure they won't!

Good news! Glad to hear. Hopefully they have already laid the foundation for a rapid turnaround. :thumbs2:

Hey, that means he at least had a mind to lose in the first place. "rlol"

And a belated welcome to the forum to you, strider!

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

I sent my checklist to PO box 15888, and I sent an email 2 days ago asking if that was an okay PO box.. DPS responded with

"Once documents are reveived by the department, they undergo processing before being entered into the system for the applicant to track. Please allow more time for your record to reflect to receipt of documentation. Right now, it takes 3-4 weeks before we can see a status of your application materials. We do not show receiving any documents from you by mail to this date. You may need to re-mail all your materials to us again"

YAY!! i called the DPS before about the PO box, and he said no problem and it we will still get it so its the same building.. I can't find my reciept from the post office, so I cant track it..I have a meeting with my instructor to get another CHL-100...
FOR PEOPLE SENDING OFF THEIR CHECKLIST----
-----USE THE PO BOX FROM YOUR PRINTABLE CHECKLIST-----
I'm upset because that packet has very valuable info in it, and it just disappeared...Well i never got it back so that should mean they ave recieved it...I bet when i re-mail this packet..it will be updated the first week, lol.
