My plastic arrived in the mail today! DPS said it was mailed on Tuesday 12/30 and it arrived today Wednesday 1/7. A full week for mailing when you exclude the New Years holiday! To recap, here is my timeline:

12/6 CHL Class
12/7 On-line Application
12/7 Uploaded CHL-100/other docs
12/8 Confirmation email
12/12 FAST Fingerprints (out of town for business caused delays in getting prints)
12/30 DPS stated license was mailed
12/31 Status change on DPS website
1/7 Plastic arrived

Not bad in my opinion since I am sure they had to do some extra checks due to my "history" even though I submitted all supporting documentation along with my CHL-100. Time from all paperwork submitted (12/12 was when print were submitted which was the last item) to the status change was 19 days and time to plastic in hand was 26 days.

Here's to those still waiting, may your plastic arrive soon!

Congrats Tazman. Let us know how the Wally Walk goes!!!

My final paperwork (chl-100) was submitted 12-7 confirmation letter on 12-8, still waiting. Called yesterday, they said it was in work about 50% complete, said it could take another 30 days, still no status change.
Guess it's just not my week.

Dennisz, my timeline is almost identical to yours. I called, today, and was quite surprised at the report. Hopefully, we both weren't delayed by 'fat-fingers' in the data entry department. (see my updated post for the full report)

Keep us posted and best of luck!

First time poster. So it's safe to say once we get a status change plastic is in the mail right?

For most of us yes, however there have been a few who have reported that the status never changed and they got their plastic.

Casp625- Yes, you must get new prints again.
