exact words.. doesnt say anything about being automated..

Umm I literally sent them an email regarding my status at 1:31Pm and I got an response

"We are currently working on printing the license. Please allow 10-14 business days to receive your license by mail"

at 1:33PM...WOW!!! they responded 2 minutes after my email was sent... lol i think that is awesome.

Still waiting for DPS to finish my BG check...Don't know why it is taking 2 weeks..I have a clean record, and I have never been in trouble or arrested..I already own a pistol and that took 2 mintues for my BG check over the phone..silly DPS taking thier time on something simple...lol

Thanks, i'll be okay waiting.. I have school to keep my mind busy..

I sent my checklist to PO box 15888, and I sent an email 2 days ago asking if that was an okay PO box.. DPS responded with

"Once documents are reveived by the department, they undergo processing before being entered into the system for the applicant to track. Please allow more time for your record to reflect to receipt of documentation. Right now, it takes 3-4 weeks before we can see a status of your application materials. We do not show receiving any documents from you by mail to this date. You may need to re-mail all your materials to us again"

YAY!! i called the DPS before about the PO box, and he said no problem and it we will still get it so its the same building.. I can't find my reciept from the post office, so I cant track it..I have a meeting with my instructor to get another CHL-100...
FOR PEOPLE SENDING OFF THEIR CHECKLIST----
-----USE THE PO BOX FROM YOUR PRINTABLE CHECKLIST-----
I'm upset because that packet has very valuable info in it, and it just disappeared...Well i never got it back so that should mean they ave recieved it...I bet when i re-mail this packet..it will be updated the first week, lol.

YAY!!!! no status update, but they did cancel my Instructor Certificationg...YES!!! means they are actually working on it..

Psssh...Anyday now was my answer for them to start...sounds like the same asnwer as before, lol.

Man, this is getting annoying. I know its becuae i bought the instructor certificate also, but I just want them to ignore it. I'm on the phone now waiting for them to answer. Hopefully it will be worked on soon.

I am on the same boat.. mailed my 7/13 with overnight mail and still waiting for status change. it says for me "Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials."
