Website shows nothing, and when I called got voice recording saying all available persons were busy in processing and could not answer the phone, due to number of applications being submitted.

You are in for a wait. Most folks are exceeding the 60 day mark and then some.

Just hang in there. Average wait time seems to be about 90 days after everything is submitted. I'd try calling again around the 60 day mark to make sure everything has been processed. If you get that automated message, just keep trying to call back every couple minutes. Eventually you'll be put on hold for a rep.

you have to get calling over and over to get into the cue. I called public safety commission and got someone to call me back about it and they sent my app to processing took exactly 7 days after my call to get my license. I was all in 3/3/16. 5124247771 is the number

Three of us took the course together and our submittals were all with in a day or two -
1/12/2016 11:36 AM - We have received your License To Carry supporting documents. Please allow up to six weeks for processing.
1/15/2016 4:44 PM - IdentoGo Service Confirmation - TX Personal Review
1/15/2016 4:44 PM - IdentoGo Service Confirmation - TX License to Carry
1/21/2016 - Certification of Criminal History [No criminal history] (TX Personal Review copy)
4/07/2016 Received mail notification from DPS that CHL Instructor's license had expired - resubmitted a new CHL-100 dated 4/2/2016

4/13/2016 at 11:55 am I called and managed to get into the wait cue - after a 50 minute wait finally spoke to very nice lady - I was concerned that I had mailed my new CHL-100 in without the reject letter - RSD received my new CHL-100 on 4/11/2016 - she said that should be no problem and noted my account - she did say that they were still swamped -

The other two folks that took the course with me sent their new CHL-100's with the reject letter -

5/6/2016 The web site changed for the other two that mailed the new CHL-100 in with the RSD request letter - One received his license later that same day (5/6), the other received his license today (5/9)

Mine is still no change -

All in on 02/25. Called Friday May 6th, was told my app had been sent for background check and I should have plastic in hand in 2-3 weeks as long as there's no problems and there shouldn't be. We will see I'll believe it when I get it. :waiting:
