Your basicly right, but it is hard to be understanding if you have been waiting for 5 months to get your CHL.

My CHL is due to expire in three years. Think I should go ahead and send in the renewal info now?

All kidding aside, this wait period has just gotten silly. Many are waiting 5 months and longer. It wasn't that long ago that folks would tell us not to get upset if it went over sixty days, that we should be understanding. Then the level was reduced again to ninety days...then 120 days... good night nurse. At what point exactly is it considered acceptable to be upset by the wait? A year....two years? That is where it is headed. They know they can just cook up an excuse and continue to work at government worker speed.

Yep...my son. His cities of origin at the time of his class were...Austin and Plano. He took the class at Shiloh in Houston. He lived here at the time and took the class while down there. He lives there now, but they don't know that yet. he didn't want to change his address and give them an excuse to start the process all over again. His plan was to do the change of address at the same time he changes his DL and after his permit is issued. I guess since he took the class in the Houston area, they run a check there by default. I think he went through El Paso once. Maybe they should check there also.

I think it is just another weak excuse so they don't make the wait averages worse than they already are.
