Found out some new information about the Licensing Process...

1. The people on the phone to no processing at all and cannot see your application unless you did it online

2. Takes up to 5 days for a piece of mail to get from the main DPS mail facility to the CHL Department elsewhere on the complex

3. Pictures are sent to an outside company for processing and approval/rejection

4. DPS in Austin does not do the background check. Troopers around the state do most of them and when they are too buys, an outside agency does it.

Not sure how accurate this is, but this is pretty much word for word what the nice phone lady just told me.
