Sept 1st?

[CLTX11]

They were talking about when Sept 1st hits they'll have the money to put more staff on etc.... Think anything will change?

I submitted mine 7-13-09 so I am playing the waiting game. I hope it doesnt get to day 90 cause I am going to send a denial hearing letter.

Pretty sure you can't do that if they don't deny you. I heard somewhere (and I may be wrong) that they don't deny you so you can't request a hearing, which would allow you to get your CHL without their entire process.
Be patient... I just saw my status flip finally after 128 days. Took my class on 4-21, mailed it the next day, they got it the next day, and its been a waiting game ever since. We've all had to do it.

Read this thread for more in-depth discussion & interpretation of statuatory time limits then you probably ever wanted to know:

Sportscenter edition: After a certain amount of time, if you do not recieve your licence, subject to some restrictions, you are denied by law.
A denial by law entitles you to request a hearing.
Whether DPS actually files the hearing as required is a completely different animal. But by law, you are entitled to a hearing, and can legally request one.

The gist I got from the thread is that if you have gone beyond 90 days you have by law been denied even if not notified in writing. You therefore have the right to request a hearing.

Already discussed many times by the people who we pay to interpret the law - ex. Mr. Cotton. At 90 days, without any notification from DPS, you have the right to request a hearing.
Each time DPS contacts you for additional information, ex. fingerprint card re-do / additional paperwork, it resets the clock to 0 and you start over.
