Didn't see June started already, so here goes:
Well, the wait begins. I completed my CHL class on Saturday and will be mailing my packet today!!

Class Saturday (5/30/09)

Packet Mailed Today (6/1/09)

Patience needed...........

Well I guess that I will be the third person to post relative to June applications. This will also be my first post to this forum!

Class taken 5/29/09 (Friday) (at Texas Handgun Academy in Dallas)
Packet mailed today (6/1/09)

And, as many others have said, the wait begins!

Hi chuck, welcome to the forum. kick your shoes off and make yourself at home

As of Today, From the February thread, Someone who's packet arrived at DPS 02/18/09, just got plastic.

Thats 103 Days :)

Get comfortable, and spend some time reading the wealth of knowledge on the forums :)

I guess I'm officially now in the waiting game, except mine will be a 3 step process in waiting. I applied online last night.

Now I get to wait for the packet, then I get to wait for the class, then I get to wait for the license.

At this rate I'll be lucky to get the license by Christmas. Just in time for that new holster and belt I've been eying(if not holster and belt maybe something better!)

Well, I guess I better add my name to the waiting list and say hello since this is my first post! I took the CHL Class from Tom Estep in Texas City on Friday. He is a first rate instructor and first rate person, just an outstanding class. I got my packet mailed off on Monday June 1st.....which means I might have plastic by September!

welcome to the waiting room and to the forum

From what I am seeing in the time-lines for many members, one of the huge lags, it seems, is the length of time from when DPS receives the application packet until they actually begin processing.

It looks like this is about an average of 5-6 weeks before even beginning to look at the application?? That's unacceptable!

What is incredibly aggravating to me is the difference state to state. My son in MI took his class (shoot anything/carry anything),finger printed, etc. on the afternoon of May 21. He stands before the county Gun Board on June 17, at 9:15am (for standard questioning on the "no carry zones" and "why" you want your CPL).

He will be given his laminated CPL at that time.

That that means he'll be licensed in less than 27 days from submitting prints and taking the class. All done at the County level. The Texas wait and processing is bogus. Both are "shall issue" states.

How's that cock your hammer?

Dropped it off at the post office 5 minutes ago...

So the wait begins...

good luck..
hope the wait isnt too long

Not that this means anything, but I applied online last Sunday (05/31/09), and received my packet from DPS today. I THINK it was mailed Jun 2. There's no definitive date stamp on it. But that sounds about right to get from Austin to Arlington.

But at least I'm now able to take any test that comes around.

Well, DPS received my packet on the 4th. Now I get to see how long it sits on someone's desk before they touch it!
