Congratulations Diode and Skipper! Unfortunately, this just makes me even madder at myself for not signing the Blasted TR-100. The DPS got my application originally on March 13, so I probably could have had my CHL (at least on the way) by now.

Please excuse me for a moment while I go kick myself, again.

Ha....yeah...told my wife what you said re: the re-take of fingerprints the other day and she went ballastic...i.e. the additional delay...lol! Like you and signature. She has arthritis in her fingers and prints are difficult for her...She admisters the "kids fingerprinting" program at her local Y. As soon as she came back into the training room from the photos, notary and prints time/area on CHL day...she whispered that her prints would never make it!....

She did the digital prints the day after hers were sent back and that was a breeze.
But barres....yours' should be just anytime...I mean within just a few days at most!

Congrats Diode and Skipper5....the waiting room was starting to get a little crowded.

I ran to my mailbox the day I knew it was there and did a little

"LE BON TEMPS ROLEUR" inside the house after slowly and carefully opening the envelope. :lol:

It's a tough wait...but worth it. :cool:

Since Monday will be 8 weeks since I sent my packet, I sent Waldene Leach an e-mail inquiring about my CHL. I still haven't received it.
My CHL insturctor said that if you are female and do not have a criminal record (I meet both criteria), you tend to get yours sooner. So I have been checking my mailbox daily for weeks now.
I did receive my pin and the letter that says received, but all it says is processing application.
This is the state we're dealing with. Its not like we can take our business elsewhere.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.

A good friend of mine who took the class the same time I did just got a letter saying her finger prints are no good. Kinda weird, I was there when they printed her and mine looked much worse than hers (to a layman like myself)
I did a lousy job of relaxing while she just breezed thru it. What causes prints to be rejected?

Emailed Waldene Leach yesterday and got this reply
Your application is processing, currently we are waiting on paperwork on our end, once we receive it your license can be issued.
