thanks! I got pulled over for speeding.. ARGH and already showed it off.. sigh

My license is here so you will all be glad to know that I am done complaining. I will certainly sympathise with the rest of you because it takes way longer than it should. I do believe that the squeaky wheel does get the grease so call often.

finally.. after 90 days, website says "application completed - license issued or certificate active"...... unbelievable.

No offense taken

A very good friend is a police dispatcher/NCIC operator.

ok.. here is the latest. I emailed today and demanded a response. She said that it was mailed today. (Tuesday). Yesterday, she swore to me that it was mailed today (Monday). The untruths continue to frustrate me. Website still says "processing" and DL check shows NO active CHL. I think tha...

I am near 90 days now. I called last Monday and she said that it would be mailed on Thursday. It never was. I called this Monday and she said it would be mailed "today" (Monday). Well.. it still says "processing application" and a DL check still does not show an active CHL. I fin...

I am now at 80 days and am quite disgusted. Everything was in order with my packet and there have been no delays on my part. They are blaming the FBI and give me very generic responses when I inquire like it is no big deal. How many other folks have been waiting this long??

I agree with theNYer. I have been waiting 75 days. That is not acceptable considering they have had my $140 since day one. I have been told that they are still waiting on the FBI for my clearance. [ABBREVIATED EXPLATIVE DELETED. Please read the mission statement, especially the "10 year old dau...

This whole process is a real beating. Texas charges more than other states and takes longer. It seems like there is some real inefficiency with the department. 75 days and counting for me... sigh.

I am cracking up about the "packet added to pile". They should have more status lines than they have. I guess there are only four official status indicators. Packet mailed, processing application, issued, denied. For all the crap you have to enter to get your status, it is frustrating to s...

I called today to inquire (once again) since I am at the 60 day mark and the lady told me that the average wait time is about 75 days.. what the heck?

Waldene responded to my email saying that it would probably go this week, however, when I asked if my prints had come back from the FBI she said No.. not yet. ARGH! Still says processing on the website. I can't believe that TX has such high fees and such slow processing!

Thanks guys..

What is the story with this Waldene Leach person?

It has been 60 days since the TX DPS received my packet for CHL. I finally got through to a person after dealing with that frustrating phone machine telling me over and over again what the website was. They told me that the FBI was still doing my prints and that I was probably looking at another 45 ...
