9/22 took the class
9/23 submitted application
9/26 fingerprints
9/27 submitted packet
9/30 re-submitted packet (because I messed up the attachments on the 1st try, like an idiot)
11/9 finally a status update, to "manufacturing pending" (40 days from re-submission)
11/10 status changed to "manufacturing"

Hopefully it ships this week!

Update...11/13, mailed!

11/16, received CHL in the mail! 47 days after online submission.

congrats!!!

Must have been my lucky number, 56!

56 Days after submission, PLASTIC IN HAND!!!

Just some nfo for new applicants...
It is going to take the state on average between 35 and 45 days to process your application. It may take them a few days less, but not many. You can pound the keyboard accessing the DPS site all you want but it wont speed anything up. Knowing this I just put the application in the mail and forgot about it. When the card finally came in the mail it was sort of like getting surprise present.

Thanks for the nfo but I will still check on my wife's 5 to 6 times a day. Heck I still check mine out of habit and I got it over a year ago.

30 days after the first update we went to manufacturing.

I wish that DPS would at least send a confirmation e-mail that they have received our documentation. It's been 45 days since I mailed it via first class mail, and I have yet to get any update on the website. If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought a scanner and submitted it all on-line.

The only thing you need to scan is the CHL-100 (Unless you are a vet or out of state) the rest of the application is already online. Even so you can take a picture of the CHL-100 with your phone and upload that.

Hopefully i will have mine before thanksgiving! I submitted everything online on Sep 15th, DPS lost my CHL-100 and I had to resubmit. I am roughly at 65 days.
