Thats promising since I also live in Denton County...
I work in Dallas County though - I hope Dallas doesn't slow things down

My hubby lived in Dallas county and it didn't slow his application down. :)

Didn't know they checked your work county.

Don't know if they do, but in my hubby's case it matters little since he's both lived and worked in the counties I listed. ;)

Collin/Dallas/Grayson counties were listed as places of residence and employment for my husband...three counties and he still got his processed in less than a month. :)

I didn't even know there was such a thing.

I guess I'll have to do some research on that. Sounds good.

The one we frequent is First Chinese Barbecue in Carrollton/Plano/Richardson (they have several locations around DFW). We crave it. And it's quite a treat because we must drive about 30 minutes to get to one, plus they only take cash. But it sure is good. :) Try the barbecue pork fried rice and any crispy noodle dish. :)

License in hand as of 12-03! We then went out to eat at a Chinese barbecue with a trusted and supportive friend (who hugged my husband, placing his hands on both his gun and extra mags and didn't have a clue), then went to Target and bought some groceries and board games. Fun night!

No dice for us either. Hubby had his holster and weapon, I had my camera...we were ready. Getting the mail was a big disappointment. We're also going out of town tomorrow but are going to hold off leaving until the mail comes.

So you don't want to leave the house unarmed?

I am leaving for the airport this morning so I have to wait until Thursday.

Made no difference for us, there was nothing in the mail but payment reminders for student loans today. -_-
If it's not there tomorrow...!!

Cutest thing - we checked the mail twice today just to be sure, and as we're driving back from our weekly Target shopping he very meekly goes, "I guess there's no point in checking it again today..."
Awwww. I hope it comes tomorrow, he's so anxious to get it. :)

Anyone else approved last week get their license yet?

Nope. All we had was a crummy Netflix ad featuring holiday specials. -_- We're hopeful for tomorrow though!

KingofKaty wrote:Congrats Randomburst! I would guess nobody is working at DPS on CHLs on Thanksgiving. So likely the status changed yesterday. By my count that makes 7 or 8 forum members who were all approved on Wednesday. Kudos to DPS for pushing applications out the door!

Thanks much. I actually just went back and read some previous posts - congrats on your (even speedier) CHL issuance! Hope you have as much fun breaking in your holster as I imagine my husband is going to have breaking in his holster too. I got it for him as a gift since he had applied for the CHL and now he has an excuse to break it in with the impending plastic in the mail...;) He jumped up and down and giggled like a little girl when I told him his status had changed.

WHOA! My hubby's status just changed to approved and license issued!! That's 28 days from application mailed to approval! Only 24 days from the time they received it! We are VERY pleased and impressed. We thought we'd be lucky to get it before Christmas but it looks like we'll have it the first week of December at the latest!

This forum does indeed bring good luck...
Now the countdown to my 21st birthday begins... 269 days until our next Waiting Room visit!

I will...right before I tell him he should log in and post once in a while. ;)

My hubby got his PIN today! (Well, we got it sometime over the weekend, probably Friday, but only checked the mail today...)

Processing Application!
