Again according to DPS that is what he said. I believe in the DPS hand book, it mentions up to 180 days to receive your license. Maybe that is why they put that in there....I don't believe you or others will have to wait that long as long as you don't run into any application problems....mymojo wrote:Are we 100% sure of that? I ak cuz , by that rationale, they could sit on an application for 90 days before beginning "processing". Carried to its extreme (for the sake of arguement), theoretically as long as they never start processing an app, the timer would never start, right?Pistol storm 40 wrote:PBR wrote:
I am sorry to tell you that is incorrect! The processing time is not when DPS receives your application. It begins as soon as your status changes to processing!

Re: Email to DPS CHL

The people answering the phone or emails are not the people processing CHL's. Anyone that is past 60 days from the time DPS "receives" their application, and has not had an incomplete package issue, should definently be calling and emailing. If one has followed instructions and done everything as they are required by law to obtain their CHL then the state (DPS) needs to uphold their end by processing the application within the 60 days allotted. If not, they should be held accountable to giving a reasonable explanation as to why not.
Their web site says "You may contact DPS at 1-800-224-5744 for more information". Telling you that your application is still being processed is not "more information" its the same information. Be nice but make sure you're a squeaky wheel.
I am sorry to tell you that is incorrect! The processing time is not when DPS receives your application. It begins as soon as your status changes to processing! Start your count down from that date. I spoke with a DPS represenative and he told me it usually takes 30days once they receive your application to begin the processing. Sorry for the bad news...I did receive mine in less then 60 days once DPS changed my status to processing. My processing started on March 4th, received license in hand April 17th. Do the math......
