I know I already posted on another thread, but I just wanted to thank everyone on here for their support during the grueling waiting period. 137 days is not the longest anyone has had to wait, but it is still unacceptable. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting. Hang in there and stay safe and r...

Mine was complete this morning! Congrats on yours too. Harris Co, 137 days!

Too bad you have to have an existing CHL from another state.

She told me I had her direct line and I could call back and check with her every week to check my status. Keep your finge...

I have not lived in Harris Co since 1995. Did you ask why they felt a need to request a check from Harris County?

I just spoke with a rep from the DPS CHL division and was informed that the DPS Field Office in Harris Co. received a request for my BG check May 4, 2009. That has been 11 weeks and they still have nothing! She said as soon as they receive the BG check from Harris Co I would receive my license short...

I just talked to my State Reps office and he is the Chair of the Licensing and Administration Committee and they told me it is taking about 180 Days to get a CHL. THe lady in his office said she was told this about her own CHL as well. I take no comfort in knowing that they are taking 180 days! Tha...
