It's all downhill from this point.

tjcrosson,
As you have so aptly pointed out others have gotten their plastic after us. I can tell you that there seems to be no logical order to their processing of applications. My best suggestion after combing through other posts is to call DPS, whisper sweetly into their ear and if you are lucky and get ahold of a cooperative person they will bump you up.
I received an update after 45 days and thought, WOOHOO! any day now! Well not so fast..... I've been hung up on: Fingerprints and Background under review for 7 days now. I've seen others go from BG under review to mailed in 48 hrs. and less.
So, don't beat yourself silly wondering whats going on in the hive we call DPS. You'll only go loopy trying to figure it out.
Best of luck tjcrosson!

Got an update when I logged in my status reads : License Status: Application packet has been received from the applicant, the application is in progress. Show receipt

Application : Received

Proof of Classroom training : Received
Proof of Proficiency training : Received
Fee : Received

But my application, fingerprints, background check are highlighted in yellow with exclamation points. What does that mean?

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Mine has been in this same state for the 3 days now.

I knew by checking 6 times a day would speed things up. Watching water boil indeed.

I submitted electronically on 12/21/13 and received the confirmation email on 12/27/13.
Things are starting to heat up for us.

Submitted electronically 12/17/13 (53 days ago)

Adam, When (or if) did you receive a confirmation of your submitted app?

At least you're not alone. I keep checking my status as thought it will make things go faster. I'm just a glutton for punishment.

What I dont understand is, my wife and I took the class, fingerprints, submitted applications, etc all on the same day. Her status still has the default ......

Your wife may suffer from the same affliction I do. That is the ability to find the slowest checkout clerk no matter where I go. Just replace checkout clerk with CHL Specialist and you may have your answer.

Hi all,
I'm posting this for your edification. ;)
