There's no 45 business day statute. That's just something RSD made up...OkieBrian wrote:Amazing. Tomorrow is 60 calendar days on my renewal. I'll hit the 45 business day statue on Friday.Weg wrote:Renewal time line ( 2nd renewal for me) :

love Texas.I cannot find anywhere in the renewal statute that specifies 45 "business days". It only says by the 45th day. My 45 "business days" are long expired and I am sneaking up on 75 calendar days. I'm beginning to smell a rat.OkieBrian wrote:Amazing. Tomorrow is 60 calendar days on my renewal.

I haven't looked at the statue but when you talk to them they will definitely say "business" days. Have you called them to remind them they are beyond the statutory limit? Since I'm not a resident anymore I don't have any state rep to call for help. I do have a friend that her dad is a state rep and I plan on asking her for help if I go beyond 45 days.USAFTS wrote:I cannot find anywhere in the renewal statute that specifies 45 "business days".

I've spoken with them several times and have heard every excuse. They even told me that the 45 business days for a renewal is just an estimate... they are very busy. I am in contact with my rep but seem to be getting ignored on that front as well. I'm not sure how some first timers have received their plastic in just over 3 weeks and my renewal is at 75 days. We shall see. I hope I don't need to be the "squeaky wheel" but my Constitutionally guaranteed right is going to get some grease and soon.OkieBrian wrote:I haven't looked at the statue but when you talk to them they will definitely say "business" days.

Unacceptable. I would be on the phone! Hope it gets figured out.KnickerBocker wrote:I'm a bit aggrevated I completed my paperwork including sending chl100 in January. It's June now and I called 2 weeks ago, they said wait two more weeks so I called today and the lady said my bg check is still in progress. What can I do?
I hear you. I've seen other renewals with similar turnaround.USAFTS wrote:I've spoken with them several times and have heard every excuse.

Just make sure EVERYTHING that is required, is sent. If they receive an incomplete application, the statute gives them 6 months to get to you. I took pictures of my entire package, kept all documentation and emails and even photos of the postmark when all was sent. They only like the parts of the statute that benefit them.hbar21 wrote:First post.
Class 6/18
Application 6/20 (didn't realize I could have done this ahead of taking the class)
Fingerprints 6/22
CHL-100 submitted online 6/23
Confirmation email 6/23
And now we wait. Wife has everything submitted same as above, but will do prints on 6/24. Will be interested to see the difference in wait times.
Fair enough. What else is there?USAFTS wrote:Just make sure EVERYTHING that is required, is sent. If they receive an incomplete application, the statute gives them 6 months to get to you.

Looks like you are good to go (Unless you applied as a Veteran as your DD-214 would need to be sent) Good luck!hbar21 wrote:Fair enough.

Completed & signed CHL-100 ==> e-submitted (recieved confirmation)
Fingerprints done at IdentoGO, they submit.
Application completed online (received confirmation)
The statute says by the 45th and 60th day not business days but the state employees will tell you "business days" and that its "just an estimate.". (Really said that to me) I'm pretty sure they will do whatever they want in whatever timeframe they choose. It IS Austin after all. Good luck.Cope3081 wrote:For those who have posted timelines and have plastic in hand, congratulations! My question is, are the timelines measured in business days or calendar days?
Mine, all docs in and confirmed 18--June-2016
First time, not renewal.
Thank you in advance.
