12/07 - Processing Application
12/28 - License Issued
12/31 - Plastic in hand

Welcome airbatica!

I was pleasantly surprised and amazed to have my new CHL plastic waiting in my mailbox this afternoon! I just pulled it out of mailbox about an hour ago so haven't planned for Wally Walk tonight! Will Wally Walk tomorrow - and Target walk and Lakeline Mall walk and...

Great day! Spent a couple hours today @ Eagle Peak - busy, busy! Nice day to shoot!

Cheers!

Congrats!!!!!!

Got my license in the mail today.

Time out for a quick woo-hoo <Woo-Hoo!>

I couldn't go anywhere today, 'cause Arkansas was playing East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl (Ark won - 20-17 in OT - another Woo-Hoo!).

Can't go tomorrow, 'cause I have a Cowboys game at 3:15pm, which means leaving the house around noon to get there. And I am smart enough to not attempt to carry into Jerry World.

Maybe next week I can offically break out the CHL and go somewhere. But for now, it's enough to have it in hand (or, actually, in my wallet!).

SWEET!!! Congrats!!

Congrats to all that have received theirs. I am still waiting for a PIN number, but the check cleared my bank on the 31st.

Sounds like you and I are in exactly the same boat. Here's to hoping we have plastic in hand before the end of the month!

Logged in for the 2nd time today and was greeted with.....

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active



That's about three weeks from delivering application to being licensed. If they get the card to me in a week it'll be under 1 month. :)

I am new to the forum and in the waiting room...

I am encouraged to see the processing times in December 2009 as compared to applications submitted earlier in 2009. I would assume the influx of applications after "the election" created a bottleneck in Austin.

12/22/09 CHL Class Completed
12/23/09 Application Mailed to Austin
12/31/09 Check to DPS Cleared Bank
01/04/10 Pin Received Status: Processing/Application
01/20/10 APPLICATION COMPLETE
XX/XX/XX Plastic Received

Congrats to all new CHL's.
The wait is mind numbing but processing times seem to be getting quicker.

My license arrived today. One month after I mailed in the paperwork and 29 days from the day it was received in Austin. Pretty cool!

Congrats!

I was happy when my CHL instructor said we'd probably get ours the first week of Feb. To get them in just about a month is awesome!




Edited for typing error.

I hope so as well. Still have not received my PIN number so I don't know what my status is yet. Where do you shoot in the Allen area? My wife and I are looking at moving to the Plano/Frisco/McKinney area in a few months.

I typically shoot at The Bullet Trap in Plano. For members, it's a reasonable $7.99/day range fee. Non-members is significantly higher. Worth it for me to be a member, definitely at $100/year.

I've also heard that Bass Pro Shops north of DFW airport has a decent range, but have never been there. I've only been back in Texas for a month after an 18 year hiatus in New Jersey. Sure is good to be home.
