Hello everyone,
I am a newbie to this forum but am very impressed with what it has to offer. I have a question about the instructor certification wait time. I applied to be an instructor June 18th and submitted all paperwork required. I haven't heard anything since I received the paperwork verification that same day. When I try to check my status online; I see nothing except a spot to apply online. However, I don't have a Texas DL (which is what it asks for when you log in). I am a resident of CO for now but my family and everything I know is in Texas (CO is my temporary home). My question is, is this normal when applying for the CHL and instructor certification? Should I just sit and continue to wait for the mail? How am I supposed to know if everything went through or if it is lost in cyberspace? The other question I have is, how long is the wait to get into the DPS instructor class? All they would tell me was "it is a long wait." Not sure what the definition of "long" is. A month, 6 mos., year, 10 years?? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Randi

Welcome to the forum!

When I was finally invited to attend the DPS Instructor's School in the Spring of 2014, my application had been in their hands for about 10 months. Some recent attendees seem to have waiting times that were a bit shorter, then others seem to have had longer wait times. I wouldn't get too nervous until you've been in the queue for about a year.
