It looks as though either DPS has caught up with the rush of applications or the number of new applications has settled down.

 

[SA Justin]

I mailed everything on 5/13. Just updated status to "manufacturing pending" this morning. Hope it won't be long now!

Wow. Based on that I may have to wait until the first week of July.

I mailed everything on April 27th. Online still shows waiting for the required materials. I mailed out hubby's application in the same day. He already got his 2 weeks ago. I have decided not to check my status anymore. I just wait for whenever I receive my CHL. :P

33 days, from the date I mailed the supporting documents to them, to the date that I found the license in my mailbox.

Interestingly, even though I went to the trouble of having new photos taken, including the photos and the frame, they totally ignored that and used my DL picture anyway. Oh well.

[loumaag]

application mailed 5-30
CHL showed up in my mailbox 6-21

That may be the shortest turnaround I've seen or heard about. 1 day more than 3 weeks.

I called the CHL hot line in Austin and spoke to a lady. She looked up my app and said that they began processing mid-May. I told her I sent it end of March. So she put me on hold, returned after a couple minutes and said that it's already printing.

She also said that the status should be updated online in the next 24 hours.

Woo-hoo. Should be about another week or so before it's in my hands.

Sent 4/2. Been 80 days so far.
