Did my walmart run today.

It came it came!!!!

E-submitted paperwork on 1/21, plastic in hand 3/7.

Mine said mailed last Friday 2/28, and I've been checking the mail every day this week and still no plastic. I hope it comes tomorrow. My mailman is dumb sometimes and puts things in my neighbors mailbox. Thankfully they let me know.

Yayyyyy!!!! Just a little over a month.

She told me that what they're looking at now is about a 4-5 month wait average... That apparently the 30-60 days are only for application processing once your docs have been attached to your application which is what ia taking so darn long apparently....

I call bull on them, since obviously it's not taking the others that long. I hate when establishments give crap info. Hopefully you get it soon!

Weeeeeeeeeeee

That gives us hope and means we're not too far behind!

Awesome that means we're not too far off! Thanks for the good news.

No you are definitely not alone. Been a few weeks for me.

Something they should have been doing all along. Would have saved them a lot of heart ache.

Yeah I agree man....good thing I sent a follow up email. I tend to be overkill when it comes to things like these, but I figured it was warranted, given how many problems people seem to be having with things getting "lost".

One last reply and I'm done for a while. Just wanted to give others hope that things are now moving pretty quickly in the beginning stages.

This email just received after I sent my email yesterday:

"We have received the necessary information for your CHL application. No further action or documents are required on your part at this time. A specialist will review and process your application. If anything further information is required we will contact you by regular mail. The online status of your application will likely update just before the process completes. This can take up to 8 weeks from when your last documents were submitted.

Please allow staff sufficient time to continue processing your application. For more information on status changes and updates visit http://www.DPS.Texas.gov" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or go to the Status Check link."

This means they are actually confirming receipt of everything. I'll start checking the site periodically for status updates. I cannot wait...
