had ya worried there for a while , did"nt it?

You are not kidding! i was so upset and mad, i went to the websight and checked everything and could not find nothing out of place. and when i called and the lady on the other end assured me 3 times that everything was fine, i felt relief. just wish they would hurry up.

Thank you baby Jesus...

I checked my status online and it says application complete! whew who!

1/20/09 Online Application w/payment
1/24/09 CHL Class taken
2/5/09 Pin received and packet sent
2/10/09 DPS received packet
05/01/09 Waiting printing of the license
05/02/09 Application complete
xx/xx/09 Plastic in hand.

Y'all got my hopes up.

But mine is still "processing application"

2/21/09: Class Taken (in Valley Mills, outside of Waco, with retired US Marshall Parnell McNamara--the chairs were hard, but the class was great. Parnell has plenty of relevant stories to break up the monotony of the material and Charlotte gives you plenty of help getting the paperwork correct.)
2/23/09: Application Submitted
3/27/09: Received Pin (after an email request for it, status was "Processing Application" upon login)
4/29/09: Status Changed to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active"
5/2/09: License received

I'm sure hoping the process is simpler and faster in four years and a month, when I have to renew. I almost wish I'd waited a month to submit my paperwork so I could have gotten that extra eleven months to a year.

Has anyone here had any experience with address changes? If so, about how long do they take, and do they require you to submit another photo? My house is on the market right now, so hopefully I'll be moving in the not too distant future...

Alright. You dropped yours off a few hours ahead of me, so where's MY brand spankin' new status? Huh?

All I did was send ONE email (2 weeks ago) asking for an update, in which I was told that they were "waiting to print" it.

Oh, well, enjoy, and hopefully I'll be dancin' the dance with you soon.
