Jan 2010 applications

[MojoTexas]

ok so maybe i am a little too spreadsheet oriented afterall, but hopefully helpful to my JAN 2010 application friends here !!!

It should be noted that I requested my PIN via email, once I saw my check clear the bank. I still haven't received the PIN in the mail.

Ya'll know what this post is for....


"Application Completed - license issued or certificate active"



17 days!!!

How in the heck did you get it in 17 DAYS!? Any trick/secret you did, SHARE!

You know "Someone" don't you?

haha... I literally do not know anyone. Actually just moved to TX in Nov. I've lived and gone to school in a total of 2 counties (incl. here in TX), clean record, made sure everything was legible and filled out properly leaving no employment or residence dates unlisted. I gave the application to the DPS office in person where the clerk assured everything was filled out properly.

Unfortunately I don't have my plastic in hand yet, but I expect it on Monday, since it has been discussed here that once the site says "approved," it means the card is in the mail. I was hoping for today since I live in Austin but I guess that was a little optimistic!

eta: rpecunia - nice spreadsheet!!

I've been watching the mail like a hawk and haven't received mine yet I'm thinking Monday, I live 7 hours from Austin...

rpecunia, thanks for the spreadsheet info. If I stay in line with the current time line I may get my license before I get my pin.

Just sent my wifes app off Jan 5, it was recieved on the 7th.
It took me 120 days back in April on Brazoria county, I am Hoping from the positive post hers will be a whole lot shorter.
Wow! DPS cashed my check Jan 11, 4 days after recieving, a far cry from how long it took me back in April. I am stoked, guess I better get busy selecting my wifes carry method for her Sig P250-9mm

I guess I forgot to post my wifes processing times. Her app was changed to complete on Jan 28 and she recieved her plastic on Feb 2. Hope this didn't mess up the Excell spread sheet.
Nice job on the spread sheet.

My plastic showed up in the mail yesterday! 02/06/2010
Even with my week delay on the incomplete app it was still almost a month right to the day.

Also, that spreadsheet is awesome.

[rpecunia]

congrats nathank - you are one of the lucky 8 that already have their license in hand...

PS updated the spreadsheet and have sent an email to xrtabullets to see if he has gotten his yet - appears from the data that he likely has his too !!!

ADD THIS TO THE SPREADSHEET

My middle daughter, rwood (not currently a poster here), and I hand delivered her paperwork to DPS on 1-19-10 and as of 2-5-10 status changed to 'Certificate Complete-License Issued'. That is quick.

She now says that I am her "favorite" Dad ever.

And her "faovrite" CHL instructor ever.

Gosh, it is nice to have good...and intelligent, kids.

hi cwood - added her info into the spreadsheet and you're right - she's setting the curve on speed - let us know when she has it in hand this week !!!

PS i think i've figured out that the YOUNGER you are, the FASTER you get your license - DOH !!!

[FL450]

hi fl450 - updated the spreadsheet with your mrs info - thanks for providing us with her status - congrats to you both !!!

Thanks again and congrats to you and the rest of the Jan applicants
