I think that makes them mad and they go even slower!

Well, I got fed up with waiting, so I went to the Governor's website and filled out a form to request help. The next day I received a copy of a letter sent to the head of the DPS asking them to investigate. Two business days later DPS called me (today) and said that my background check had cleared and I should have my CHL in hand in ten days. She gave me her name and asked me to please call her if I did not receive it within ten days.

So complaining to the right office got me action immediately.

I finally got a status update today. I'm waiting on the background check and have to send the photo holder in.

One step closer......

I took the class at the end of May after applying online and using FAST for fingerprints. Sent the rest in on 6/1 and got proof of delivery yesterday. I also got the ActivePro Defender belly belt yesterday, in the mail. I tried it on yesterday in front of my wife. Today I put it on and she didn't notice. I then moved it from the appendix position to three o'clock, which seems quite a bit more comfortable. She still hasn't noticed.
