September Apps

[RugYG]

Hey guys!

First time applicant here, I also submitted everything online.

My timeline is as follows:
09/09/2013 - Online Application filled out/paid (I never received the barcode email)
09/12/2013 - Submitted fingerprints
09/14/2013 - Completed CHL class/test/qualification
09/16/2013 - Submitted CHL-100 through TX DPS website
09/18/2013 - Called TX DPS and asked if all materials were received. The person I talked to put me on hold for 20 min while he looked for my documents and then told me all of the required documents have been received but there was an issue with my finger prints. The computer was having a hard time accepting them and he had to force it. He then said I should have my license in about 45 days.

Going with the date of 09/18 I am now at 33 days with out an update on the website.

I emailed the TX DPS website asking about the barcode sheet and got this response:

"Thank you for using the Regulatory Services Division’s website.

The checklist and barcode page are only available online for 48 hours from the time you submitted the online application. Neither form is required for the training or the application process. You may mail in the application materials you have without it. You may include a hand written letter stating that you have already paid the fees online."

You check your spam filters? If you use Gmail log into it from your browser and see if you can find it.

I did before contacting the TX DPS and could not find it. According to the reply I do not need it and it is to late to request another copy.

Well.. I guess we are in the same boat. I mailed mine on 9/16. No update So if the 45 days is right we are looking at the end of the month.

I submitted application on the 21st, sent it all in next day am USPS on the 23rd after finger printing. Still no update or change in status :( this is killing me.....lol

"License Status: Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials. Once the application and materials have been received by Concealed Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page."

I submitted mine on the 21st and submitted all paperwork online on the 24th and also haven't had a single update. I'm right there with ya buddy!

No update so far and I mailed mine on the 16th. Looks like they have slowed down in comparison to the people that submitted in the beginning of the September.

So it seems, how frustrating.

Man i'm so jealous! I just got off the phone with TX DPS and after a wait time of 30 min and a repeated message about a high influx of applications the lady I spoke to told me that my application has been sent for data entry. That's our wasted tax dollars at work right there! Why is there a need for data entry if i submitted everything online?!? I was also told that applications take 3 to 4 weeks just to be sent to data entry and applications can take up to 60 days now.

Unless something has changed since April, you can get "Veteran" on your TX driver's license, but NOT on your CHL, because I renewed both back in April and that's the way it was then. Got in put on DL, but not on CHL.
