holding down the fort as well; hopefully i will receive mine tomorrow..... keeping my fingers, toes, hairs crossed

Plastic has arrived! It was in a simple white envelope & there was not any writing on the mailer card inside. I guess the plastic is enough....
Good Luck to the rest of you guys!

"The Plastic". .....we really should start capitalizing that every chance we get. It's like the Holy Grail, isn't it? Testing a man's patience and intestinal fortitude...."The Plastic"......it even sounds different when capitalized.

You sound like something right out of the movie "Dune". The SPICE....the SPICE.

Yeah, I guess I am. I'm glad I'm not solo - it seems most of the April bunch is gone
I had a slight heart rate increase today. The wife called me saying there was a USPS sticker on the door - adult signature required - I guess this might be the first time I wasn't completely excited a rifle was delivered, I was hoping it was "THE PLASTIC" Heck, the rifle wasn't paid for until this past Monday and the copy of my FFL wasn't faxed until later that evening - THE RIFLE IS HERE, WHERE'S MY LICENSE?
Oh, and I've got things crossed adult men aren't suppose to cross I hope it helps

"App Approved" on 117th CALENDER Day, and waiting for plastic. Does that count? Or, is it BUSINESS days? (84th for me.)

(Sorry, too many pages to search to find the rules.)

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

Whoo Hoo.

Just to recap.

At day 165 I found out that they need 2 forms of proof that I am in the military that was July 3rd. Finally got the good news. Now I am just waiting for plastic.

Finally, I am in the same boat, my status has officially changed.
I only had to wait a week and a half from being called by phone and notified. Maybe it will be here when I get home today or in the mail tomorrow - Monday there's NO delivery.
The wait continues, although feeling a little more comfy
Final celebrations to come

congratulations Aladinbama

My wife received her CHL in the mail today!!!

Received by DPS on 05/22/2009

Plastic in hand 09/04/2009

Harris County - 106 days!

I'm still here at 113 days as of today. Though the DPS says mine should be completing any day now. I'll take that with a grain of salt until I see it myself.

I just checked and mine did not come today. I do know that even with snail mail it does not take 6 days to go from Austin to Houston.

Are you saying that the chl department would "be creative with the dates that they tell you?' Like I said in another thread mine supposedly was mailed on sat 29 and today thurs 3rd still a no go!!! Hey it took less than two days to ride my bicycle from Houston to Austin. Maybe I can get a job as a carrier to speed up the process and I will ride my bicycle to make all the "green people" happy. What do you think. By the way I called at 10 minutes to 5pm (chl closes at 5pm) and the answering machine was already turned on!!

Well, I got my chl in the mail today! Note I was told my chl was mailed on the 29th but it was not post marked until the 2nd!
But on a good note the wife sent her app in three weeks later than me and both of ours arrived today! Maybe some light at the end if the tunnel!!
