I just got my license in hand today 30 Mar 2013. Took 69 days from the time Texas CHL had my paperwork. I took my CHL course 12 Jan 2013, they received my packet 21 Jan 2013.
Good Luck!!!

Just to give my experience for timing expectations..

I dropped my stuff in the mail 2/13/13. Took about a month for them to show it as "received" online. I just received it in the mail today. 71 Days.

My DL expires next month and shortly after they showed it as received I got a letter for my DL renewal advising that this year I need to go in to renew to get a new picture. A guy on another forum I frequent said that they used his DL picture rather than the ones he sent in which got me to thinking they may have been waiting to see if I would renew my DL so they could use that pic. I still have not done that, and the CHL has the pic I mailed in, so not sure if that was a factor in the time.

I am also a Veteran and had to send in my DD214 to justify the reduced fee. So maybe that was a factor as well..

Either way I am happy I finally have it in hand, and all things considered I won't complain about the wait.

There is a sticky thread running here: http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14391" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Mine was 37 days, mailbox to mailbox in May of last year.

I submitted mine in June of last year and what plastic in hand 42 days later. I tell you what checking paperwork status is the best way to commit your DL number to memory.
