Join the crowd. Hey! Someone's elbow is my ribs! Getting a little crowded in here, isn't it? If everyone waiting for a CHL joined this forum, the servers would probably overload......

Re: "Waiting Room"
Thanks for the support guys. I'm in El Paso county. I wish I had found this forum sooner. I kinda feel like a whiner after hearing some of the stories in here. Especially from Jo. I know a lot of people in El Paso are getting licensed. All the violence across the border in Juarez has everyone looking out for trouble. I would think the local Sheriff would be more concerned with the Cartel violence spill over, than sandbagging the concealed carry applicants. Maybe that is not the case, but it feels this way.

Re: "Waiting Room"
Oh I see why it's takes so long.
They are too bizzy answering the phone.
Does the elevator come any quicker
pressing the button over and over?
I guess some peeps have alot of free time on their hands.

Re: "Waiting Room"
I guess the problem with your illustration is that an elevator is physically incapable of moving at a faster pace, which is untrue of dps. Moreover, I do not see the problem with exercising one's right to make a polite phone call. Though, it is pretty easy to just get bitter about the whole process. 116 days and counting...lazypineapple wrote:Oh I see why it's takes so long.

Re: "Waiting Room"
Gosh bt, there's nooooo problem at all with calling DPS checking on things. Why I called them twice even before I took the exam...and one time after I took the exam before mailing my packet to them. But be prepared to wait 20 min. on hold before talking to a live person. And do please have a valid question in hand before calling.btaylor wrote:I guess the problem with your illustration is that an elevator is physically incapable of moving at a faster pace, which is untrue of dps.

Re: "Waiting Room"
My morning routine now involves calling dps, setting the phone on my desk while I go brew coffee and read the paper, all the while listening to that horrid tune that is now forever stuck inside my headjoe817 wrote:Gosh bt, there's nooooo problem at all with calling DPS checking on things.

Re: "Waiting Room"
Okay, so just for kicks I checked my online status this evening and noticed it had changed. Previously, it read processing application. Now is says: "No application or license/certificate active." How the heck is that possible? Anyone have any experience with this?????

Yes, to me this morning when I checked. It's fairly common. I clicked on the Instructors renewal tab toward the bottom of the page.{TEX}Hawaii 99 wrote:Okay, so just for kicks I checked my online status this evening and noticed it had changed.

Try it again, but click on the top tab, for new licenses.

Still waiting... I would be in real trouble if I processed anything the way DPS does..

Thanks. I was tired last night and was logging on in the wrong section. Hopefully, I am not the 1st one to do that....

Re: "Waiting Room"
TEX, not at all! USA1 used to do that alllllll the time, as he'd stay up every night past midnight to check his status. He was under the impression that DPS computers updated at that time.
it's happened to a lot of us.
Sleep deprivation does have a tendency to cause one to push the wrong buttons.
