Class Taken: July 3
DPS Received Packet: July 16
Current Status: Processing Application
Basically sent all of my CHL info (app number, Texas license number and other info), and in the email Governor's Office (Online) and explained to them that it had been over 90 days since I applyed and I was getting the run around, I had called the DPS CHL offce about four times and every time they would only tell me that the application was processing...same _______ you get online with your PIN, I asked to speak to the person that was processing my application and was told that she could not do that because they were busy processing applications....after hanging up, the first thing I did was I called my state representative, and gave them my info, an aid called me back the following day and told me that when they called the DPS CHL, and that they could not find my application packet, they later called my state rep and was told that my application was mistakinly misplaced on a desk and that it would be mailed to me on Friday. Then I emailed I the online Governor's Office on Thursday last week, I got a canned response that my inquiry was being acted upon, I got a second response from the Governor's Office that "I am asking Major Stan Clark, Interim Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, for his staff’s assistance in reviewing and responding both to you and this office on the information shared. Please let us know whenever we may be of service in the future."
There is no telling how long my packet would have sit on that desk....I am still pretty irritated at DPS, I'll just leave at that right now....... I would start with your State Rep....Hope this helps you

Re: July '08 Applications

I guess my first comment was correct...unless you call your local district representative and governors office your paperwork is just going to sit on someone's desk...I just got a call from an aide to my state representative and she was told by the DPS CHL office that my application packet had somehow been misplaced on someone's desk, that they found it and will be mailing my CHL license today, after that my wife called me that the DPS CHL office had called to say the same thing, my license is being mailed to me today....SO if I were the rest of you, start calling and emailng so they can get off their duffs...It took a total of one day, I called yesterday....and I only got a canned email response from the Governor's office...

Don't expect to recieve it until Wenesday or Thursday of next week, since Monday is a holiday....

Re: July '08 Applications

I honestly think that the only way you are going to get your CHL is to call or email your local state representative and the Governor's Office, which I just did....I have called only after the 90 day period since they recieved it and the only excuse that I have been given is that my application is still being processed, and that online it states that the process can take 90-160 days....other members have applied after I have and have recieved theirs first....I do not understand what the pecking order is at DPS/CHL office on how they process the CHL applications, certainly it is not First-In-First-Out basis, or if their is any organized sanity on how they process the applications, at this point I can only envision stacks on applications on their desks, and they with their feet proped up, I asked to talk to the person that is handling my application but they refused.....it certainly is frustrating
