Any word on your "plastic"? I see it's your birthday today (05 July) - hopefully your present came in the mail today?!

No birthday surprises for me... :confused5 I will call again on July 17th and see what they tell me. I am scheduled to go out of town on the 21st for a few weeks. I hope it is here waiting when I return.

Happy Birthday!

Welcome to the forum!

Has there been any issues with your application? Or has it been without any smears on your record?....
No problems with my record or any issues DPS made me aware of. They've told me there isn't any problems. In fact, I've had a CHL, but let it expire and so I had to go through the whole application process again. At some point the length of time becomes ridiculous. I think I'm almost there. 119 days and counting.
3/1/2008 - Took CHL Class
3/4/2008 - Packet received by DPS
3/14/2008 - Application entered by DPS
7/16/2008 - 125 days - Status changed to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active"
7/19/2008 - 129 days w/ no issues - Plastic received

3 weeks to call agian... that is not very incouraging. i am in the same boat at 115 today. I still check the mail everyday thinking that they are just not caught up on updating the web site. We have to hold on to some hope i guess. How many of are left from march in here anyway?

called them today and i was told that they have begun my background check. He could not tell me how much longer it would be. Every question I asked he stated that they have been overwelmed with apps this year and it is taking longer than normal. Guess I will continue to wait.

Me too. I called last week and got to speak with the Tech handling my app. She said my FBI check was done. They were wainting on my County check (Dallas County) and my license to be printed. She stated that they go ahead and get the license printed early in anticipation of the application being approved. She also said that if the app. ends up getting denied, then they destroy the plastic license. Just FYI...

It takes DPS about 1 hr to get a license printed. I highly doubt they are printing them early, this may be some bull from DPS.
