I think this is the first April 2009 completion! PIN received/application processing on May 18, and today I see the wonderful message "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active". I sent in the paperwork on April 1. This is for Montgomery County.

Unfortunately, it's my wife's CHL, not mine. :banghead: Mine went in on the same day but still shows "Processing Application". She's over there laughing at me right now.

I have no idea when it went active. I check mine daily, this is the first time I've checked hers in a couple of weeks. Proof again that a watched pot never boils. :headscratch

Now you've gone and done it.....I was checking my status about once a week but since your and your wife's dates are so close to mine, I'll have to check mine every day now :-)

Checked today...still processing.

Mrs. Chip's plastic came in the mail today.... the application package was mailed to DPS 4/1/2009. :anamatedbanana So that's 79 days for her. Me? Still "Processing Application". :totap: We've lived in the same places at the same times for more than 20 years now, and our applications were mailed at the same time from the same post office. They went to "processing application" on the same day (5/18), so I'm at a loss to explain the difference.

I wonder if there's some secret reason why it's quicker to process women's applications. Maybe they are inherently more trustworthy, or DPS doesn't have to check status of child support payments or something. Of course, we know that Latina women are wiser than white men..... :rolll

I couldn't stand it.... called DPS to find out why, if we submitted paperwork on the same day, she has plastic and I'm still "Processing".

They're waiting on a Harris County background check for me.... not because I have LIVED there in the past five years, but because I have WORKED there in the past five years. :mad5 :mad5 :mad5

So I'm not going to bother checking status for the next couple of months. :cryin

I wonder how that is going to affect me. I live in TX, but I actually telecommute and I work for my company that is in FL. I also lived 2 of the 5 years in FL. I would love to know if they would be trying to get some kind of background check from FL.
