I feel like a citizen, in a Heinlein sense. Wonderful.

And it came on Friday the 13th. I'm good. It's just the next number when the 12th was yet another day of waiting. :-)

12/12 - Online Application
12/13 - Course at Shoot Smart Grand Pairie
12/17 - Fingerprints at Morpho Trust USA

I have checked online and no status change. I called today because I see others who have a similar timeline already have their plastic. I was told my application was still in the background check.

I checked the website just now and...........wait for it...............I have the change address and report stolen card links!!!!!!

It won't be long now until the plastic is in the mailbox.

No plastic in my mailbox today

Plastic in the mailbox today!!!!

Plastic arrived today!!! WOO HOO!!!

Congrats y'all!

Tazman wrote:My plastic arrived in the mail today! DPS said it was mailed on Tuesday 12/30 and it arrived today Wednesday 1/7. A full week for mailing when you exclude the New Years holiday! To recap, here is my timeline:

12/6 CHL Class
12/7 On-line Application
12/7 Uploaded CHL-100/other docs
12/8 Confirmation email
12/12 FAST Fingerprints (out of town for business caused delays in getting prints)
12/30 DPS stated license was mailed
12/31 Status change on DPS website
1/7 Plastic arrived

Not bad in my opinion since I am sure they had to do some extra checks due to my "history" even though I submitted all supporting documentation along with my CHL-100. Time from all paperwork submitted (12/12 was when print were submitted which was the last item) to the status change was 19 days and time to plastic in hand was 26 days.

Here's to those still waiting, may your plastic arrive soon!

Grisu wrote:I did the FAST Fingerprints. Who did you use for your printing service? Seems that there are a couple of other ones approved to do the work for DPS. Maybe there is a correlation with processing/wait times and the fingerprinting vendor?

Grisu wrote:Called DPS since they didn't reply to the e-mail inquiry.

Wait time on hold - 30 minutes.

Opted for call back in approximately 30 minutes.

Call back in 31 minutes

Spoke with lady that wanted DL # and name. She looked it up, stated that license was issued on Jan 2nd and to allow 7-10 days for it to arrive ...? Do they have to torture me by sending it first to Guam and then on the slow boat back to Houston???? UGH waiting... waiting... waiting!

Upon checking, DPS had a whole 7 business days from receipt of documents to the issuance so I think I should proclaim that to be AWESOME! :
