Wow! I received my CHL with new address on 7/21. Wow! That is less than three weeks! In fact, it came in on the same day as my TDL, and I updated the TDL one day earlier. My original issue CHL took a long time, but the change of address was acceptable, fast even.

Howdy! I finished moving into my house and, as a law-abiding CHL holder is required, I contacted DPS via the web site and requested a change of address. I did this on 7/3. I just checked the web site and saw: "No application or license/certificate active." Now, the first thing I read was &...

I finally received my plastic in the mail last Thursday, making it about 78 days door-to-door, by my count, including holidays. Terrible picture! I was actually surprised by the arrival, and I am not ready to carry my newly purchased Sig P220 Carry, because I have not found a holster/carry method I ...

Finally! I checked my online status and saw....Drum Roll....Application Completed - license issued or certificate active!!! :woohoo Wow, over 70 days and still waiting on my plastic! Well, I'm almost there. Oh, man, I still need a holster for my Sig P220 Carry. I better get moving! I think this is g...

You know if she had been in DC she might get arrested for having that gun. Well, that is due to their police force. You see, people that live in DC don't need guns, becaue the police will protect them. Everyone knows that. ;-) There are some "informed" citizens that think we should let th...

I now have my PIN!! I checked the web site and I thought, "That is it?" I logged in twice just to make sure. It just states "Processing Application". DPS is not much for elaboration. Anyway, I am a little bit closer. I need to start shopping for a holster and a way to secure my w...

Well, I called DPS this morning and was told that they had started working on my application on Friday. I guess that means that it is "in process". They said that I would receive my PIN in a few days by mail. They also said that if I was interested, I could send an email to the DPS/CHL web...

Did you send a personal check, and was it deposited?

Thanks, I'll call on Monday. No, I did not send a personal check, I sent a bank check. I am sure I can find out from the bank if it has been cashed. I'll call them also.

Well, it seems I am still lurking around here, only now I am a member. I have been checking out the waiting room and other areas on site (while taking a trip now and then to the range) and I noticed that others have been receiving their PIN after sending in their packet at about the same time I did ...

I really enjoy reading this thread. I have never posted on a forum before, although I have read various forums for many years. So, when I decided to join this one, I needed a username. Well, I am a Project Engineer with a service company that designs subsea tooling for the offshore oil industry. I d...

Thanks to all for the greetings. I am sure everyone will agree that receiving our CHL is just the beginning of our training, which is why I plan to make plenty of use of this resource. Badkarma, I actually looked at an H&K .45 and they are nice, but other than name and reputation, I know very li...

Howdy! I received my instruction from ElGato on Nov. 3 (that is a great class!) and sent off my paperwork on Nov. 21. ElGato recommended this site and I am glad he did. Now, I am just waiting around, reading the forum posts, reading about the laws of different states, and trying to decide which of t...
