I am officially out of the waiting room!!!!! Received my license Friday November 28 after 97 very long days. Good luck to all that are still waiting believe me I do feel for you guys.

Finally. Just called to make sure Melinda at the DPS received my fax and she put me on hold to go check it out. Came back on the line looked at my paperwork and said OK, that is it. Your license will be mailed out tomorrow!!! Application Complete!!!! What a whirlwind ride but almost done!!!! 89 days for me.

Well I finally tracked down my 22 year old arrest in South Padre Island and they have dismissed my charge and deleted my files. So I faxed all my documentation to them today and should not have any more problems from here on out. 89 days and still counting!!!

Well I just received a letter from the DPS saying there is a problem with my application. I had a Reckless Damage arrest 22 years ago when I was 17 years old ( young and dumb High School parting incident in South Padre Island during the 4th of July when I was going back to my hotel room drunk and broke a light in the hall way. ). Anyway, I told them about that incident on my application but they say they need certified copies of the "judgment and sentence from the courts". This was one of those things that I spent the night in jail and paid my $300 fine and was let go. Again, I am sure I can work this out but have no idea who to call to get this information. The good news is this is just a set back and should not inhibit me getting my CHL, but what an ordeal. Any advice I could get from anyone on this would be appreciated. I will call the DPS Monday to see who I need to call to get this ball rolling.

Day 82 today. I have e-mailed my State Rep and the Governors office. Still nothing. When I called the DPS they told me they were waiting on my background check from Tarrant County (Arlington, Texas) and to call back in two weeks. Man, I hope it does not take that long.

Day 78 today!!!! For some reason I have a bad feeling about the timeliness of my license being issued.

State Rep and governor, governor got action in a few days on mine.

Just e-mailed my rep last night. Hopefully something will come through quickly.

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!

What is the number to call and check on the status of your application?

I'm happy for all you guys but you are killing me. LOL. Because of this I have gone from checking once a day to 10-20 times a day. Feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. LOL.

I live in Arlington, too. Still checking the site daily to get good news and it keeps telling me "Processing Application"!!!!

Well you guys are starting to make me a little excited because I am approaching the same time frame. Hopefully I will see a change of my status soon!!!!!

Hit another milestone today and received my pin #. As of Sept 4th my application is processing.
