Mine was finally approved today (Harris County). I was worried that as it wasn't approved before the 1st I'd possibly have a long time to wait. I checked today for no particular reason expecting exactly the same message. But SURPRISE! I've really very happy. :woohoo

05/02/2009 - CHL class completed

05/06/2009 - Mailed application to DPS

05/08/2009 - Return Receipt received from DPS

06/19/2009 - PIN received from DPS

08/23/2009 - Email sent to DPS requesting status

08/27/2009 - Called and spoke with DPS, application complete, but tech is still reviewing background check...

09/01/2009 - 117 days and waiting

09/02/2009 - Called DPS at 8:30am and was re-directed to the tech, "Mary Anne", who's voice mail stated Aug. 31st and to leave a message. So I did.

09/02/2009 - DPS email reply/response: "At this time we are awaiting the completion of the background investigation. Thank you for your continued
patience."

09/02/2009 - Called DPS back at 4:30pm and again was re-directed to my tech, "Mary Anne", again voice mail dated Aug. 31st. Used "0" option and got
back to main CHL line and asked if my tech was in and I was told she hadn't been seen. Asked if anyone else could help me and I was told no.
Asked who her supervisor was and was told "Leo" was her supervisor but that I needed to give my tech 48 hrs. to call back. I asked if she is out
or on vacation I just have to wait? I thanked the young lady who was helping me and said it has been almost 120 days and this greatly
exceeds the "magic" number of "60 days"... again thanked her and stated that I would call back in 48 hrs. for Leo, if my tech fails to return my
calls.
