I will not sit in the waiting room,

But I will have my own waiting area. What exactly is this waiting room you ask? its a forum on the website TexasCHLforum.com and its where people go to keep track of their CHL process while they wait on it. So in the tradition, or perhaps it is fashion, of the waiting room here is my time line (updates to come):

  • 04/06/07: Applied for application on-line.
  • 05/19/07: Took class.
  • 05/21/07: Mailed packet to DPS.
  • 05/23/07: Packet received at DPS (Confirmed Delivery from USPS website).
  • 05/31/07: Letter Mailed from DPS (Forgot to sign back of photo, somehow).
  • 06/01/07: Status changed to “Processing Application”.
  • 06/16/07: Received letter above (USPS mis-delivered, receiver hand delivered it).
  • 06/16/07: Unofficially heard from the S/O they had performed the criminal BG check.
  • 06/18/07: Sent letter and photo back to DPS (Certified mail).
  • 06/21/07: Letter with photo received at DPS.
  • 06/26/07: Status changed to “Application Completed – license issued or certificate active
  • 07/09/07: CHL in hand (USPS mis-delivered again, same receiver hand delivered it again).

Notes: It seems the DPS continues to process the application even when something minor has to be redone (such as signing the back of the photo).
