You spoke to someone and they hung up on you? What exactly did you say to them?

For both this go-around and the time I had a CHL before I encountered nothing but professionalism form anyone I ever spoke with at DPS. It's not the best process ever and they can't always give you an answer because of that, but they were nice at least.

I was hung up on when I asked to speak to a supervisor.

Earlier in the call she told me I hadn't sent in the paperwork. When I told her I had and I knew they had it she put me on hold for 20 sec and came back and had mysteriously found my paperwork. She told me the 60 day clock started now because she just got the paperwork (I was already at 60 days). That is when I asked for a supervisor and got hung up on.

So to recap we applied 5/2 and 5/7 and received them today which is 61 and 56 days respectively.

infoman wrote:The law book states they have 60 days, not sure why you have a big beef with that? I get contacting your rep if they go beyond 60 days, but all you're doing is bogging them down spending all day answering legislative action sheets. (instead of processing paperwork). CHL has increased like 300%, their manpower has increased 0%, do the math.
