Been 2 weeks since Austin received my completed Packet. When I track my Status it still says "Packet mailed to applicant"

How Long Did It Take ...

My status took 26 days to change. I had to call and email to get a PIN.

My time line is:

June 02, 2007 - CHL Course at Lonestar Handgun in San Antonio
June 04, 2007 - Mailed packet to DPS/CHL
June 06, 2007 - DPS officially received packet
July 02, 2007 - Received Pin by Email After Calling DPS/CHL
July 27, 2007 - Found out CHL Instructor goofed up my TR100 Form
July 30, 2007 - CHL instructor sent corrected TR100 to DPS and me
August 02, 2007 - Received new TR100. Drivers License incorrect
August 02, 2007 - Notified CHL instructor again.
August 03, 2007 - Received third TR100 form, this time correct.
August 08, 2007 - Application Completed, license issued or certificate active.
August 10, 2007 - Received license in mail.

Door to Door = 65 days

Errors were made on my TR100 Form three times by the instructor. That slowed down my application and I have no idea how long.


Good luck. Even with my problems, it was just over two months. Yours is bound to be faster.

Dude, I feel your pain. My CHL was processed pretty quickly (34 days), but my passport renewal took FOREVER...I sent the passport renewal in on 27APR, and finally received my new passport about a week ago! :ack:
