Working 70+ hrs a week right now is helping,and I'm not gonna bother my Rep about it since there's such a disaster around here right now.He's busier than a one legged man in....well,you know .

Same bull from them as I've been hearing this entire time..."Waiting on the background checks"...
At this rate-I'll be surprised to see it before Christmas.

09/22/08 - "PROCESSING APPLICATION" (Grrrrrr!!!)

I disagree with this. EVERYBODY in my CHL class submitted ink prints, and to my knowledge not a single person has been rejected. Out of 22 persons in the class,I know of 4 that already have their license in hand.

They can say that all they want,but it's painfully obvious that this is NOT the case. From what I've seen, there is absolutely no accountability nor is there any kind of organization over there in processing these. There is however,a very organized effort to cash checks and process payments.

I'm still here...and really starting to get irritated at the DPS at this point.

I called my Rep's office yesterday,and got a return phone call today.He's bothered by the reports I gave him of delays that are as far back as the April applicants, and he told me would be calling the DPS HQ on Monday to inquire as to what the problem is, and what action he needs to take to help alleviate the problem. He's very supportive of the CHL laws and we had around a 30 minute conversation about the time delays,and also about other issues related to CHL holders. I'm going to direct him to this forum and have him read what's going on and the experiences of the others here when he calls me back on Moday.
JL

Just called again today,and got a different story-that they have no idea as to what stage it's in,only that it's "processing". The tech I spoke with highly suggested writing my rep,and that it was one of the only ways to ensure that the process was changed to be more efficient.

Or why they complete some July applications before May applications.

They are blaming it on the background checks. But I seriously doubt there is a two month difference in background check times based on which county you are in, or the federal BG check actually has a +/- 8 weeks timeframe. I think they are passing the buck.

That's my suspicion as well. I don't think they have any kind of system for completing these things,and they just do it by the seat of the pants.
JL

Called today just to see where mine was,and they told me that they were waiting on the federal background check to come back,that the local and state checks had already been back.

This is starting to suck...
JL

Just gave them a ring to check the status,and the person I spoke with actually answered on the 3rd ring,and told me I was simply waiting on the background check to return.
JL

Got my PIN letter today...I'm now at "Processing Application" for my status.
