Congrats! :hurry: That is just frustrating to have to wait that long. It seems like there is a lag with the April submittals. There must be some burned out clerk that got all the April submittals and just dragging feet. :grumble

Your status changing on a friday may mean you see your plastic in the mail tomorrow. That's what happened with me.

Hey guys,

Newbie here. I posted this in the "Waiting Room" thread, but figured I should also post it here just in case.

Texas DPS Online Application - 5/25/16
IdentoGo Fingerprinting - 5/27/16
LTC Class and Range Qualification - 6/4/16
Supporting Documents Submitted Online and E-mail Confirmation - 6/6/2016
Resubmission of updated CHL-100 Form Online and E-mail Confirmation - 6/20/16
Status Change - 6/27/16
Plastic In Hand - Maybe Christmas (haha) ??????

I started the 60 day clock after 6/6, but received a letter on 6/17 (two weeks time from submission) from DPS saying that my CHL form was incomplete.

The reasoning they gave in the letter was quoted:

"The application you submitted had an incomplete or missing Certificate of Training Form (CHL-100)."

The issue with the form is that my instructor used an Adobe PDF reader to Sign and Fill the text field in the range qualification section to mass produce these forms, but did not do the same thing to in the upper classroom portion. His signature is exactly the same in both sections, but with the printed information not being there, they denied it.

A little work in Adobe Reader to Sign and Fill on the CHL-100 form and I resubmitted to Texas DPS.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, according to the TX DPS FAQ, since they requested more information, they now can slow roll my LTC and have 180 days to issue my license.

Sadly, My understanding of the statute is the same. 180 days is afforded now that it was an incomplete application. Not sure if there is a way to expedite the process. Maybe a call to your Rep to see if they can do something. I personally think the 6 month clause is bogus and I would have battled to keep it out of the statte. Good luck

DAY 79
PLASTIC!
I'm still going to speak to my Representative because it took nearly twice as long as the law allows.
Good luck to all.
