Got mine in the mail today - 97 days after applying and just 10 days after asking the Governor and my State Senator for assistance.

Congratulations, may you carry well.

CHL Class taken: 06/26/10
Rec'd CHL Class Proof: 06/30/10
Mailed To DPS : 07/01/10
DPS Rec'd : 07/06/10
Processing App : 07/20/10
Fingerprints Rejected: 07/30/10
Fingerprints Redone: 08/03/10
Fingerprints Rejected: 08/10/10
Fingerprints Redone: 08/11/10
License Pending Printing: 08/11/10

In checking with DPS, background check was completed and license sent for printing 08/09/10. Received email on 08/10/10 from L-1 that second fingerprints were rejected. How can DPS complete background check and send license for printing before fingerprints come back rejected a second time? Well, license has not been printed yet. 43 days and counting. Just hope the 3rd set of prints are accepted.

I thought they could only reject your prints once? From what I've heard if the second set of prints are no good they just do a more detailed background check. At least, that's what I was told when I went to have them redone, as my fingerprints are as good as not having any.

The lady that took my prints for the second time at L-1 said fingerprints could be rejected up to 5 times. That means you could have to send them in 6 times. After that, according to this L-1 technician, they push the application on through. Not sure what that means, more background check or what.

The Final Saga

3rd set of fingerprints rec'd by DPS under review: 08/17/10
CHL Issued: 10/15/10
CHL Mailed: 10/20/10
CHL Received: 10/22/10

113 days from the time everything was mailed to DPS to receipt of CHL. DPS waited 59 days from the time they acknowledged receipt of my 3rd fingerprints to issue CHL. This after background check had originally been completed 08/09/10, and after sending Governor Perry an email 2 days before issuance of CHL, and contacting my State Representative 2 weeks earlier. I get the feeling the DPS sits on some applications, and moves others right along. Don't want to sound paranoid, just frustrated due to an extraordinarily long wait. But, that's all irrelevant now. I have it, and that's all that matters. Thanks for letting me vent.

Good luck to all those still waiting.

Peace, out!

Ron

A guy in the waiting room got his yesterday in the mail. 33 days mailbox to mailbox. I cringe to think about what people had to go through in the past.
