03/12/2014: Applied for renewal

03/19/2014: Notified that fingerprints on file were rejected by the FBI

03/27/2014: Reprinted

4/11/2014: Plastic arrived


So, it basically took a day short of a month with an approximate 10 delay for new fingerprints. Or right at about 3 weeks if your prints are good (my son's took 3 weeks).

Not as much of a delay as I expected when notified I had to submit new prints.

The place I'd used locally for my PE fingerprints has since closed and the closest location for printing is now about 1.5 hours away. The CHL printing was $9.95, the company and process were the same as used for my PE, but the PE prints cost $42. Hmmmmmmm.......

"PE"?

I believe it means licensed Professional Engineer.

Yes.

I emailed the checklist on Wednesday and got this response today:

Your CHL renewal application has been received and we do not require any more documentation at this time.

Kind Regards,

I didn't really expect the response to be this fast.

What do you mean by "emailed the checklist"?

In my case, there was nothing on the checklist except for the checklist and the fact that they're going to try and re-use my photo and fingerprints. Do I have to take any action to send my checklist? That was my original question.

It says on the checklist "Email or Mail this page with ALL of the items listed below." The first item on the list says "this page or your confirmation email containing the transaction barcode." I took that to mean that you had to send in the page with the barcode even though no other items are required.

So, I saved the checklist they emailed as a pdf and emailed it back. This is the response I got today:

Thank you for using the Regulatory Services Division’s website.

We have received the documents attached to your email. This information will be forwarded to a CHL Specialist for review and processing. For more information on CHL status changes and updates visit http://www.DPS.Texas.gov" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or go to the Status Check link. Please allow staff sufficient time to continue processing these documents.

BTW, wasn't easy to figure out how to email it....my son didn't see it and mailed his checklist in.

My son got his in about three weeks. I renewed yesterday and emailed the checklist. My current license expires in August.
