Re: December 2014
The way processing seems to be going, you ought to see it at the start of January, but hey, they could change your status tomorrow! Check daily, and then rinse and repeat again.metzaballa wrote:12/17/14 - Everything Submitted. I am playing the waiting game too.

Re: December 2014
stuck in the twilight zone:
class 12-6
CHL uploaded 12-7
Prints 12-11
No Prints letter from TX DPS dated 12-16 (received 12-20) - says I have 90 days to get 'em
"The Dept has received your application...cannot be processed because the application did not include the required electronic fingerprints"
guess I'll give them a week or two and call and ask how to include the required electronic fingerprints
letter says I should use L1 Enrollment but fortunately the website provided in the letter resolves to Identogo so it looks like I used the correct fingerprint service
When I got my DL back in June they took all 10 fingerprints, wonder why they can get my photo from the DL folks but not the prints >?<

Re: December 2014
When you say check daily - how do you do that now that their website does not offer that option?
You may have the last word.
Re: December 2014
Log into where you originally applied online https://txapps.texas.gov/txapp/txdps/chl/ and you should see options on the right to change address, report lost etc. under the logout button. If you just see the logout button and the " pending...." message then you are still in progress. However, some have said that they recently received their license without the status change on the website so who knows!SA_Steve wrote:When you say check daily - how do you do that now that their website does not offer that option?

Re: December 2014
My wife submitted all documentation on or before 11/30. Never got a confirmation on any submission. Called after 10 days and was rudely told that DPS never confirms anything. Checked and found status had changed on or about 18th. Plastic received on Monday, 22nd. Wally World walk completed today with her proud CHL, retired LEO husband!!! So three weeks is not too long to wait. Making for a Merry Christmas and Happier New Year - now that we've got each other's back!!
And the same to all of you - Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and be safe out their friends.

Re: December 2014
From looking at the October, November and December "waiting" treads, it looks like the average wait time until your status changes on the website is from 18 to 19 days from the time everything is submitted. Well today is 19 days from the day that I got everything submitted and I checked the DPS website this morning and I have the option to change address, report lost/stolen etc. Woohooo!
Now I just have to wait on the plastic to arrive which will probably be next week!

Congrats! that pattern doesnt seem to hold for all of us. :-(
it's a bummer the website doesnt do a better job of telling you where your app is at in the process.
Re: December 2014
I just talked to DPS in Austin so I thought I would post an update. I sent in my CHL-100 online on 12/8. Fingerprints and online application were done about a week prior to that. Still no status update on the CHL website. The lady I talked to said they had received all documents, but they have been backed up on background checks so it maybe about two more weeks before they issue my license. Hopefully that was just her giving a conservative estimate, and it will be wrapped up sooner.
