Thanks to Joe Driver's office (who also happens to be the chair of the Law Enforcement Committee), my CHL was received within a week of notifying Mr. Driver's office. It shouldn't have taken a state legislator's intervention to receive my CHL that had obviously been sitting on someone's desk. How do I know this? Because I received an old-style license, well after the new-style licenses were being issued and received.
