welcome sinton! In the time you wait for your CHL to come in be sure to use this website as it is a valuable resource. There is no such thing as a dumb question. Where did you take your class at?

Emailed today and got this reply "The application is near completion. Thank you for your continued patience. "

I guess I'll be checking more frequently on Monday.

Rene M. is the person that sent the email. Just checked the website, still showing in progress.

I don't want to pester them so I'll wait a couple more days before asking agian. Probably busy with all the applications and don't want to go to the bottom of the pile.

As many emails as Rene M. gets each day, she is always cordial and helpful. That's the first time I've ever said that about a State employee and I am a part time State employee!

I agree...Rene is very patient and polite!
