Update in the status of my supposedly pending CHL. I call, send letters and they all tell me the same thing. There is nothing they can do. I ask the DPS personel I am talking to at the time. " Don't the people who do the field checks work for you? Don't they get paid by our checks? So lets say next time we don't send them the check until after the app is finished? wouldn't you say to us.. Whoa wait a second.. no money, no processing! Well I say you shouldn't get the money until after that bit of plastic has been sent out or denied. After all we have to follow law. Why don't you. " So she sputtered and coughed. Silence on the phone. Then she comes back. " We are following the law. And we cannot help it if the Harris county field agents are busy. " Oh but it goes on and on... I call daily. Wait 15 to 30 min's on hold until I get to speak with a rep who says " Didn't you call us Yesterday?" And I reply with. " Yes I did. I am checking on my CHL Status." They tell me some excuse or another. The last being some progress with "It is sill in print." They cant give me a estimated time of completion. Apparently they have no concept of time and the law. Or at least they think they are above the law. It is well past 90 days for me. As well as for many of the other CHL hopefuls out there. Then I hear the stories of those who get theirs within 6 weeks and I wonder why. What did they do different? Was it their connections? What happened to everyone being treated Equal? * Sighs* Ok ok enough ranting from me.. here is the update.
