You can email CHL@txdps.state.tx.us and ask them for your pin. You should provide them as much information as you are comfortable giving but at the absolute minimum, provide your full name and TX driver's license number (date of birth and CHL application number are also helpful to them). Just don't expect much out of the status updates.
Harris County (no issues w/paperwork)
02/08/09 CHL class
02/12/09 paperwork received
03/09/09 PIN & 'Processing Application'
06/26/09 BC finally returned (Day 134)
07/05/09 Application Completed - license issued or certificate active (Day 143)
07/10/09 plastic in hand (Day 149 from rececipt)
Just expect it to say 'Packet Mailed to Applicant' for the next 4 to 6 weeks and then 'Processing Application' for what seems like forever.

Thanks for the link they sent me the PIN# in 1 day, sad to say all the thing says is "Packet Mailed to Applicant". So either they are mailing me another packet or it is not updated either way I am still waiting.

From my experience and those of others I've seen in these forums, it seems to take about 6 weeks after they receive the packet for it move from "Packet Mailed to Applicant" to "Processing"
