Let the waiting begin.

[TEXASG7]

Welcome..
Your time is about average, for most without problems it will be about 30 days?.... for me exactly 32 days from application to license in hand. Won't be much longer now.

All documents sent by USPS,... Snail mail.

The agony of waiting was too much. After yet another disappointing visit to my mailbox I decided to call DPS. With no actual hold time other then listening to various options I was connected to a nice lady. I asked her as politely as I could; "that I would just like to check on my status of my CHL and to make sure that all of my documents were received" She asked me for my TXDL# which I provided and then told me that my CHL was sent to printing today (then corrected herself) and said yesterday! She went on to say that I should have it in 7-10 days. I thanked her and ended the call.

For those (I have seen a couple) with a similar timeline here is mine once again.

08/17/2015: Completed online application
08/29/2015: Completed CHL class
08/29/2015: Fingerprints done
08/29/2015: Submitted CHL-100, DD-214, and checklist online
09/01/2015: Received confirmation email that documents received
09/24/2015: DPS website shows status the same as from day one
09/24/2015: DPS representative says CHL to printing yesterday

Although there is still some waiting that remains, I am very glad that the wondering is now over.

Thank you all for being here!

Your post prompted me to call ... Unfortunately mine wasn't started yet. The nice lady said she handed it to a supervisor to get it going. 3 or 4 weeks. My wait continues lol

At least my alien holster has come in.

My CHL took 20 days after submitting my CHL-100.

Working today and got bored so I thought I would go ahead and check to see yet once again if my status had changed and it did!

I just noticed something, that makes me wonder or think it could have changed sooner than today. See I got in the habit of looking for the "sufficient time" phrase. When I would read that I knew (or at lease I thought I knew) that my status hadn't changed and I would immediately exit the website.

Well today for some reason I read a little further and noticed the options (now available) to change address, report a license, etc.

Anyway, happy with the good news and now it is between me and U.S. Postal Service!

Mine changed yesterday and I received my plastic today.

[sweetmelissa]

Did you get yours yet, Greenbeer?

[greenbeer]

Not yet. I had my prints done on the 16th so today is 10 business days. I checked the website earlier this week but still no change. I'm hoping for plastic the week of the 12th. But unless I get my rifle sold my plastic will be in vain as I haven't gotten a carry pistol yet.

Hey Rytchard ...did you get your plastic?

The website has finally changed for me so I guess Ill see something in a week or so. My stuff was laying in limbo for a while when I called to check on it.

Thanks much! Yes they read LTC!

BTW, carrying has been an adventure to say the least. Will compare notes with you once you get yours since I am a week your senior! (I am predicting you will get yours on Monday!)

Nice prediction!
Plastic came in today

[rytchard]

I knew it! LOL

[greenbeer]

Man now that 2 out of 4 of us in this thread have received plastic I'm really starting to get impatient. Congratulations to you 2. As for me and Melissa I guess we keep waiting. Good news is I finally got my pistol.

[rytchard]

Good news is I finally got my pistol.

Well, now it will come in! Since you are ready! I am going to predict Friday or Monday!
