ok sent my application off 108 days ago. Mailed it June 16. A little while ago I emailed my state rep. I got a call from their office yesterday and the lady told me that they would look into the mater. Today I got a call from a D.P.S. supervisor.The supervisor told me that the state rep. had contacted them and he was getting with me to let me know that everything looked good. They are just waiting for the field investigation from Harris county to get back to them. He stated that the hurricane was the reason they have slowed down again. We'll the wait will continue! Will keep you folks posted when I get the good work.

sent off app June 16
stat processing app
I spoke with them about 3 days ago and was told now it was hurricane Ike's fault that the background checks have been delayed. (Harris county)

Harris county is taking forever. I sent my application off on 6/16 and still processing. I called them and they told me that Harris county is a large county and they are behind. She also said that the hurricane has delayed them even more. Go figure.

I'm right there with you. Mailed my app off 6-16 still processing still waiting.

I contacted my local state rep over one week ago and I have recieved nothing but an email from them thanking me for contacting them?
I just checked my status again and I'm still in the 'processing phase' .

I dunno if that had anything to do with why I went complete today but maybe. Now I must play the waiting game. I just hope it got overnighted ups like some of the others.

I also decide to email the governor's office today as a last resort, I played up every option I had including my family's Texas history:

Governor Perry,
My concern and request for assistance lies with the DPS and their failure to procure my background check information
for my CHL license for over 6 week's now. Here is the information regarding my application and the current status of
my CHL license:

Date application sent to DPS: 06-06-'08
Date application recieved by DPS: 06-09-'08
Date M/O cashed by DPS: 06-16-'08
Date PIN recieved from DPS via email request: 07-18-'08
Current status: Processing application since atleast 07-01-'08

I am a member of the TexasCHL forum and I personaly know of atleast 3-4 member's who have recieved their CHL license
already. These applicant's submitted their application's anywhere from 4-6 week's AFTER I had submitted my application.
I know the DPS is experienceing a 51% increase in application's but I cannot fathom why my application is taking so long
to complete. I had contacted my local state rep Hubert Vo but I have recieved no reply or help from his office.

I am a native Texan who can trace his family tree all the way back to Lieutenant Colonel William Barret Travis.
I have no criminal background or history and I am currently persueing a career in law enforcement. Any assistance from
you or your office would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Gregg Travis

Just wondering what county do you live in? Is it Harris?

I was never told WHICH background check they have been waiting 4 week's for but it could be the federal one, dang the man alway's trying to keep a brotha down!!

Wow I never got that much information from them. All they told me was 51% increase and would still be awhile.

sorry
