How long did it take you?

[txgun44]

Just curious to find out how long it took some of you to receive your chl. I had my paperwork sent back because the instructor forgot to sign one of the forms. anyone have their paperwork returned to them to be corrected and then have to send it back in again? if so, how long did it take for you to receive approval?

Everyone is different. I've seen anywhere from 38 to over 200 days. If you botched your application packet, or if your fingerprints or passport photo aren't good enough, it'll take longer.

My packet was received by DPS on 09/17. I don't expect to see anything from them before 11/15 (assuming my paperwork was in order).

For freaking ever!!!
5 months total!

59 days but that was a few years ago when I got mine.

The state wanted me to send in my DD214 since I applied as a veteran for the discount. I had to send off for one and it took about 3 weeks. In spite of the delay, my plastic arrived within 3 months of turning in my packet.

90 days. Austin received packet 6/2 - I received my plastic 9/2/09

current time seems to be a little over 60 days

I just took my renewal this week. The instructor had just renewed his Instructors license, and they told him they were still processing 12,000 aps. per month.

It is taking a long time. I've got a TWIC, and they still are "processing" my app. It's been over two months now.

Mine was 122 days, my wife 110 I think, we both had paperwork sent back (same mistake, its what I get for copying her lol.) Seems like we were only delayed the length of time it took to send the app back to us, correct and send it back in. I'm hearing people getting them in 60-90 days now

lol at least I didn't put her name on my app. we just left the same part blank.

 

[thorkyl]

mine a number of years ago was less than 60 days
my fiance was 190 days this year
my mom was 235 days, she had to redo her finger prints 3 times
a co-worker has been waiting for coming on 300 days

 

[TxEMTP69]

300 days? wow they'd be hearing me on the phone everyday

 

[shellshook]

121 days

 

[Acesn8's]

68 days once the processing began and one glitch in the paperwork.

 

[Gregg1LE]

Bummer. I had hoped they might be at least a little caught up by now...
I take my class on the 31st. Guess I shouldn't look for plastic till Christmas or New Years.

There is hope. The state received my packet 8-5. I had my license in hand 10-7.
