Just got off the phone with DPS and was told the application was approved! Should have it in 7-10.
10/4 application online
10/8 fingerprints
10/17 CHL 100
10/19 mailed paperwork.

I did have a non-disqualifying misdemeanor from years ago. Life lesson: don't be dumb six days after you turn 18.

Still not too bad considering you snail mailed your paperwork.

Agreed. I was getting worried that something was wrong. I called last Monday and was told it was at the technicians. They said the same thing this Monday. Something told me to call back today just to check. Glad I did, now it's time to wait at the mail box.

Just curious if any of you with non disqualifying arrests were sent a letter or asked for court documents for prior arrests, I've never received a request and all my stuff was in October 27. Do they pull up the old records themselves?

I just went to my county's website and printed my public arrest records. They show dates, disposition, plea, ect. I have not received anything as of 30 days asking for anything else.

Yeah I give up... today is 30 days since I've submitted my application. The only time I've ever been in a court was to serve on a jury.

Called today and the lady said they haven't even started on it.

Whatever.

30 days from when, did you mail your ch-100 or submit online?

The process doesn't really start until you submit your documents. Try calling them again on the 16th. Patience is your friend. :thumbs2:

Yea, the 16th of this month is when 30 days will be up, not from application time. You will have it before the holidays with no arrest record. ;-)

I did not receive a letter, or send anything extra to them. I just disclosed the charge, disposition, arrest date, and arresting agency on the application. Did it take longer than it needed to because I didn't send a "certified disposition"? Possibly, but they got it done before the 60 day mark.

My timeline is identical to yours, with a non disqualifying prior. Hopefully when I call tomorrow they will have good news for me :cheers2:
