I took my CHL class on May 17, 2008. DPS received my application May 21, 2008. I actually submitted my information (and paid my fees) online April 29. With a couple of status checks via phone calls, I found out that my information was not even put into their system until July 28. No one could tell me why it took over two months for them to just input my info. I've called twice since then for an update, and every time all I get is the canned speech about how they've had a huge increase in applications and are running 60 days behind. I'm now over 130 days in waiting and still nothing....just the "Processing Application" on the web site and the usual speech from DPS when I call them. A couple of days ago got an email about the new delays that are being caused by hurricane Ike. Today I got a letter in the mail stating the same thing. I don't know what to do next except wait some more. I'm feeling like with the latest news of delays, I could easily be looking at 180-190 days total.
