Thanks. But what else you gonna do? I learned many, many years ago that the folks we deal with over a counter are not responsible for whatever is frustrating us. And by treating them with respect and patience from the beginning, sometimes the situation will be improved. If not improved, at least not worsened. And if we get upset with them and yell and bang on the counter it will probably get worse. And while I really, really want my CHL it's my fault that I waited until half of Texas is trying to get theirs at the same time.USA1 wrote: thats a good attitude to have .
i hope you get it soon

That's good to hear. At least starting then folks will not have to wait like a lot of us.dicion wrote:This has been done.

Now they, as you all know are run by commissioned LEOs. And there is 1 that takes care of Harris and Galveston Counties. Plus the folks in the surrounding counties who work in Harris County.

Re: Harris County Applicants
Howdy, y'all,
I don't have any skin in this game for 3 1/2 more years, but I applied very shortly after Hurricane Ike, and I remember it seemed like my day would never come. Since nobody's posted in the Harris County Applicants folder for a while, I thought I'd ask those of you who are waiting an inordinate period (60+ days) to sound off and tell us how it's going for you.
God bless Texas,
KoD

Re: Harris County Applicants
As shown in my sig it took 174 days mailbox to mailbox. That included a set back due to unprintable photos but still wore on an old man's nerves don't you know?

Congratulations. Looks like DPS is about to get caught up. That's not even 60 days. Have you made your Wally Walk yetranger0286 wrote:I took the class for a new CHL on Aug. 9, mailed everything Aug. 11, and I received my plastic today. I'm in Harris County.
