I'm a new member...

I should have applied for my CHL a LONG time ago, just kinda never got around to it, anyways, my current timetable is as follows:

Completed Online Application: 11/05/15
Completed CHL Class: 11/07/15
Completed Fingerprinting: 11/13/15
Submitted All Paperwork to the DPS Online: 11/13/15
DPS Documents Received E-Mail: 11/16/15

Currently nothing has changed for me on the DPS website, it still asks if I want to apply as an instructor. I'm a former DPS employee (less than one year removed from service) I was hopeful that my background would still be on file.

I'm hopeful to have my plastic in hand by December 16th, but I doubt that's possible, is it?

We basically have the same timeline - I am hopeful I get mine around the middle of December. It seems lately there's been a good mix of people who get their card before the website updates and those whose website updates then they get their card a few days later.

I guess time will tell... keep me posted on your status.

Sounds good, I see you're in League City, I'm near Galena Park. Hopefully they'll come around the same time!

I guess I'll start the first timeline from late November...

Online Application Submitted: 11/20/15
Class Completed: 11/22/15
CHL 100, Fingerprints, DD214: 11/24
Confirmation Email from DPS: 11/24

Looks like the absolute earliest I can expect the plastic is the end of December or early January. The CHL instructor said that some folks were getting the license in 7 working days or so, which got my hopes up. But I haven't seen anyone with that quick of a turnaround on this site.

Ya man it took them over 30 days just to enter my CHL 100 into the computer lol and I'm still waiting.

[rrrrDPS!!]

Been waiting since OCT. 22 and still waiting. I just got unlucky my application went to some old grumpy old man I bet. My application was probably placed in the "YOU GOING TO WAIT, BUDDY" stack. Every necessary document and information was sent online. I know I have been asked by cops during a traffic stop if I ever ran with a certain "organization". I said "huh, you got the wrong dude." rrrrrrr
