If you are waiting for your CHL, you may want to call...

It's interesting that things always happen immediately after I call
DSP CHL division at (512) 424-7293.

I've sent in my new CHL application around early September. I waited for my PIN to arrive, and it didn't come. Then I called DSP the next day and the person told me it's being sent out that morning...
Ok, coincidence perhaps.

Now that I have my pin, I've been checking my status, which is always "processing application". Well, I decided to call DSP today just to see if there's more details to "processing application". And the DSP phone lady told me that it's being mailed out today.

Hmm, I'm beginning to think I should have called them sooner. Anyway, it could be coincidence that my application status just changed between the time it took me to browse the web status page and my phone call.

But it's hard for me to believe. So maybe if you are close to 60 days, you may want to give DSP a call.

EXACT same thing happened to me! Could it be that the "squeaky wheel gets the grease"?

Did I just post "DSP" for "DPS" ?

I noticed that I've been writing and saying DSP instead of DPS! Actually a coworker pointed it out. I guess digital signal processor has a better ring to it than department of public safety.

Please substitute all my DSP with DPS in your minds if I ever use that term again here.

Oh well, my Kenwood HF + 6m radio has excellent DSP which really helps the SSB audio / noise.

Then again DPS troopers are always nice !

Especially when they write you a warniing and talk handguns during the stop.

Now that I have my CHL, I've got to try speeding and see if I can get out of a ticket w/ it.
