The law book states they have 60 days, not sure why you have a big beef with that? I get contacting your rep if they go beyond 60 days, but all you're doing is bogging them down spending all day answering legislative action sheets. (instead of processing paperwork). CHL has increased like 300%, their manpower has increased 0%, do the math.

This is what the law states:

The department shall, not later than the 60th day after the date of the receipt
by the director’s designee of the completed application materials
:
(1) issue the license;
(2) notify the applicant in writing that the application was denied:

Here is what people fail to realize: It's not completely received unless the "Director's Designee" has "received" them. Meaning that they have everything in hand and everything has been marked as received. So I could have mailed everything in January 15th and if my CHL-100 has not been marked as received by the the "Director's Designee", then the 60 day count down has not started.

In my case, as of June 24th, DPS stated they have not received my CHL-100. I mailed it to them on May 2nd, but they have not marked it as received. So as the law states, my 60 days has not even started yet, even though it's been almost 56 days since I mailed it.

Finally, yes, a status update, for both me and wife (app and docs sent 5/2 and 5/7)

My suggestion is if you have been waiting too long (around 60days imo) then contact your state rep. It's amazing how responsive the DPS are when you have the state rep's backing. Just me contacting DPS myself meant canned responses, wait 8 weeks, rudeness etc etc and no email responses. Once a state rep was involved they were calling me. Someone with power needs to know the state of things at that office and the only way I know of to get that done is to contact your state rep.
