She reported to me that the CHL program was going thought some re-vamping. The website is being upgraded and that they are hoping to streamline the process more.

Both my State Rep and Senator called me today told what they have been hearing from their constituents about the CHL office is unacceptable. They both told me they would be looking into the issue more once the State Legislature reconvenes in a few months.

For those of you who have been waiting longer longer than 60 or have called the DPS CHL office and hung up on or had rude operator; I highly suggest you contact your states reps. Both mine very extremely helpful.

Repeated attempts by phone and email were unsuccessful. My status changed to no status update 5 days ago. I called my state rep and they contacted dps and told me that my license was being processed and would revive it within a week or so. This was July 9th. I received my license on July 12th. Rep told me that they were extremely back logged but I am convinced the questioning status from your elected officials move your approval up the que.

Waiting has commenced.

Resubmitted Documents Electornically: June 30-late morning
Received confirmation or resubmitted documents: June 30-late afternoon

I wrote to Rep. Branch well before 60 days as I was alarmed at the fact that folks dating back to February were still in the black hole but all sorts of folks who began in June were getting their licenses in record time. I did not ask for help on my own case. This indicated some sort of a process failure to me. I'm a theology professor (Greek and New Testament) now, but I used to be in management and did my undergrad in manufacturing engineering. I can recognize poor process flow and design rather easily.

Anyway, I logged in today and I now have the options to change residential address, change contact information, change mailing address, report lost license, report stolen license. It it holds true to what I've been seeing the last two weeks, it means it's been issued and either being printed or already on the way!

Sitting at around 41 days so far and haven't received any conformation email or anything, I called last week to see if they had received my docs because I never got an email or update and they told me to wait until about 8/1/14 before I call again because "It's too early to know if we have them yet"

Mattcapital14 wrote:New to the forum... Just got a call back (finally) from a lady with DPS that wanted to be rude so bad but I think I was just too nice. She actually told me she could not confirm that all of my documents have been submitted because it has not been eight weeks yet. After continuing to ask about all my docs she said that everything "should be ok" but I really needed to wait till the 8 week mark.

Application 5/18
