I'm really trying to figure out why some folks get their CHLs faster than others...

The only thing that I can come up with is things like age, work history, and arrests/tickets.

I'm 24 years old... I have very little work history (like right at 5 years)... and I don't have any tickets or arrests on my record. I can only image how long it would take to review the history of a 45 year old with 19 years of work experience, and 8 violations.

I'm 30 and been working since I was 15. Live in TX all my life. Got a DWI in 2005 when the Astros were in the World Series (almost 7 year ago) and a few speeding tickets. My background and fingerprints have been under review for a week now. I'm not worried about it. Some people it's taking a month to get their plastic and some 4 months.

Man that's great to hear!

The DPS updates are on a delay. We may really be a day ahead of the updates we see on the web.

My status changed to "Mailed" on the 23rd. Man! that feels like 2 weeks ago. Should have plastic in hand by tomorrow, or the day after.
(I'll still check the mail today though. :drool: )
