Since the lawdawgs can see you have a chl through your DL I wonder if you could carry without the license and if you get caught up Ina situation just tell them to verify that way.

You can try but the law says you have to carry the actual plastic for 46.02 to not apply.

"is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid license"

I'm pretty sure you won't get it on Monday.

He didn't say which Monday.

You're right, I forgot that Monday is Veteran's Day and there's no mail delivery ... as a vet, you'd think I'd remember that.

Thanks for the reminder.

I don't think I want to take that risk ... I'll just keep waiting until the plastic arrives and I have it in my wallet.

Thanks, though ...

I don't get it, 10 days (Thursday, November 1st) since my status changed to "mailed" and still no plastic?

Come Tuesday, I'll call the DPS and ask if it's actually been mailed.

I'm beginning to wonder if the mail carrier didn't put it in somebody elses mail box. We live on a cul de sac with community boxes at one end.

"...a watched pot never boils..."

That must apply to peanut oil, too. I've been trying since 0930 to get the oil up to 375° so I can slip that turkey into it.

Oh BTW, the state has had our money since 19 October and our CHL 100 renewals since 24 October. The website STILL says they are waiting on required submittals. If it's not in the mail by now, don't look for it until next weekend. Monday is a holiday and Tuesday will be show and tell day. Maybe some apps will be processed/mailed during what's left of the week?

Dude Pep my status had changed to mail on November 1st as well. I was getting worried. But my plastic arrived today. I bet you will get yours Tuesday. Mine was postmarked on the 7th of November form Austin. I live in Conroe Tx

First, congratuations!

You've given me hope that it hasn't been lost in the mail, or worse yet, the mail carrier placed it in the wrong box and whoever got it just threw it in the trash ... I was beginning to panic, but I'll wait it out until Tuesday and hopefully I'll be doing the happy dance, too.

It sure sat in the mailroom in Austin for a long time, didn't it.

Again, congratulations.

You know what my wife's card was delivered to our old house we lived at four years ago.. The card has our new address but for some reason they sent it there..

I know it seemed like mine sat in someone's outbox somewhere for a week after it was marked mailed. I wouldn't worry yet.

My status changed to "mailed" on November 1st and, finally, today I have PLASTIC!!

I'm outta here to make room for someone else ...
