Hit the wrong key, that was supposed to read 3 weeks and 2 days.

The wait is over! Got my CHL in the mail today, 3 weeks and 3 days after they got the last item. Now if Taurus will speed up their projection of the Taurus Curve I can go for a Wally Walk!

I called the 512 area code number, finally got a person. She checked and said "it has gone to printing, so it should be done in 3 weeks". At elast it is not lost or dead as I had suspected, I start the fourth week tomorrow, so that would make it about 6 weeks total. I guess some just don't get handled as quick as others.

Thanks, three weeks is coming up real soon, first part of next week. I guess I will just try to lay back and not get so excited. I want to make a Wally Walk NOW!

Well they have all my stuff for over two weeks, nothing on the web site checks and nothing when I call them. I realized that the checking places are just concessions to take the load off the DPS, but at some time I think I should figure out how to get ahold of DPS CHL and talk to the people that actually process stuff, to make sure it has been tossed into some box my mistake. Is that wise?

They have had my application for three full business days, yet when I run a status check it comes up with nothing. Am I wrong to assume that they would stick on a status, even if all it said that all documents are received? How long have others waited after the CHL people got all your documents until there is a status listed on the status check site?

OK, thanks for the info, I had suspected that was the reason.

My status is this; I did an online application on 14 June, and did the fingerprints on 16 Jun by an agency that sends the results directly to DPS. I just now completed the class and firing range, mailed that in and they got it today, so how long should I expect to wait for them to make me a license? I am anxious, can't you tell?
I found from this forum you can apparently check on the status of the application. When I go there it is a little flaky with explanations, but when I enter my DL nr and DOB, and hit search, nothing comes up at all. Surely in a month and a half they should be showing something, right?
