I've been waiting 11 weeks....

is the online status changing before cards are issued or are you guys getting your plastic in the mail and then the status changes later? In other words Im checking online to get an indication if my card is on the way or am I wasting my time & should just wait for the mailman?

I have finally received my CHL!!! Although, even to this day, the DPS website link for "Where's my CHL" STILL says the same message as it did 6 months ago...telling nothing useful...I finally got my card in the mail. :anamatedbanana whoo hoo! congrats dude! :cheers2: I've been waiting 2 m...

I actually had a mgr call me back this morning to inform me that my app is now "processing & to give it a few days"....

Update,

I was able to get hold of one of the managers and email my docs to her email address and she emailed me back informing me that my app is now moved along for processing..

I anticipate open carry passing in Texas so I went ahead & ordered the 2 holster combo, a cloak tuck 2.0 IWB and a OWB and I also got an additional shell for my new kahr cw40

Several years ago the DPS website used to show us a checklist of updates, why dont they do this today? One would think that this would answer a lot of questions a guy would have on the status of his app & keep the phone lines clear...

Hopefully I should get my plastic soon, its been over 2 months now...

[quote="tim665214"]Just wanted to give an update. My wife has still not received her card, and now when we log on to the website, it no longer gives her the option of changing address,report lost or stolen card, etc... Now the only option is to apply for an Instructor's license. Does this ...

I think the most important point here has been missed. 1, In Texas it is not required to inform the officer that you have a CHL however out of respect I would tell him and listen to his instructions, (if any) However the most important issue is if you are stopped & arrested for a DWI, you can ki...
