1/18/16- Application online
1/21/16- Fingerprinted
1/23/16- Class
1/25/16- Mailed CHL-100 via snail mail
I checked the DPS website this morning and it had "updated". I did not check it daily but sometime between 3/7 and 3/10 it switched over.
3/10/16- Recieved LTC

55 days from application
48 days from mailing CHL-100

I was not expecting it until later this month but hopefully that means they are spitting them out faster.
Hello!?!

I'm waiting at DAY 61!!

App Date 1/6
Class 1/10
Scan/Emailed CHL100 1/11
Fingerprints 1/13
Email confirmation 1/15

Still waiting. Rebecca said yesterday after placing me on hold for 5 minutes "we have your application date as 6 of January. You'll just have to wait a little longer Or just get something in the Mail."
what the heck.
Yeah that timeline SUCKS! My app date was 1/4. Everything was in that day except my fingerprints and those were submitted 1/13 and I still have nothing. Sucks that someone who submitted everything at least 2 weeks after me already has plastic. I have no record, nothing. I've been finger printed and background checked by the FBI for previous jobs. It should not be taking this long. This blows.

Dang. So we're only on day 47!?!?

I guess I'll watch my mailbox and forget the website.

I'm starting to have nightmares about getting attacked and not being able to defend myself because my gun is locked away since I can't carry it! :banghead:

My timeline:
2/9/16- Took CHL Class
2/15/16 Did CHL application online /mailed CHL 100
2/20/16 Fingerprints Taken
2/29/16 Also emailed CHL 100
3/3/16 Email Confirmation
3/9/16 Website Changed
3/14/16 Plastic in mail

*** Just an FYI for all of you still waiting and losing hope, on the CHL website, where it asks to contact them send an email to them and tell them to PLEASE expedite your application. Trust me it worked for me and my other 4 friends, and call everyday at around 8:30 and you will get through! I you mailed your CHL 100 email it to them as well. I only called once and they said noone asks to expedite through the email contact on their site and they have a different department that checks those. Please try that and i promise it works!

Interesting timeline...looks like you have the fastest turn around in recent history. I applied about a month and a half before you and don't have my license yet.

I'll try emailing to request they expedite my license. I'm a little wary of your timeline, and your post count. Seems...suspect. Pardon me if I'm wrong.
