Called TDPS this morning about the website and was told that they are trying to revamp it so it shows a more accurate time frame from start to finish for CHL applicants. Unfortunatly he also said they have no way of knowing how long until it will be completed. That also means the website may not be updated even when application are being processed. He was nice enough to take the time to look through all my information to make sure I had a complete packet before saying "all we are waiting for is it to be entered in the system". I don't know if I can stop myself from checking the website every morning, but it seems like it may just be a waste of time for now.

59 for me... No updates. But since they are required to issue or deny in 60 days, I guess mine will be here tomorrow.

Well at least you can call and they'll probably expedite just like everyone else's after 60 days

So I called today... My 60 day mark.

I was told that they were waiting on my paperwork, and asked if I had sent it in yet.

I told her that this was the first time I had heard that. And that it was sent 60 days ago. 10 seconds later she mysteriously had my paperwork. I was then told it needed to go to data entry.

When I told her that they had 60 days to issue or deny, she told me that the 60 days starts now because they just got the paperwork. I explained that it was all sent together and that the 60 days starts when the actually get it, not when they get around to pretending they just got it.

Asked for a supervisor and was hung up on. Was polite the entire time, just refused to be lied to.

Well, maybe now that you've been told they found your paperwork you can get the ball rolling. I've tried to get through today, nothing.

Now's the time to get your state rep. involved. The only way this process is going to improve is if we make enough noise.
