I think the Colonel at DPS has been blowin' smoke up our collective behinds... My app was received three weeks ago, and the status still hasn't changed. What a crock...
Advice - don't bother applying online. It doesn't help with the processing speed. Don't bother paying online. That just means they get their money faster with no tangible change in status. I just want to see movement - I don't think that's too much to expect.

Woo Hoo, I checked my CHL status this evening and it said "APPLICATION COMPLETED - LICENSE ISSUED OR CERTIFICATE ACTIVE"!!!! I should be doing the Wally Walk and have plastic in hand by the weekend!
DPS seems to be catching up a bit on the new ones at least. Mine was 51 days so far; 3 weeks after my check was cashed until I received my PIN and 3 weeks from "Processing Application" to "APPLICATION COMPLETED - LICENSE ISSUED OR CERTIFICATE ACTIVE"!
Can't wait! Don't have a Hawaiian shirt though!

Following up on yesterday's post... I received my renewed license today.
Original package sent to Austin 8/4/09 via Certified Mail. 75 days, start to finish. 56 "business days", and there was Labor Day and Columbus day in there as well, so that makes 54 business days.

I see in your signature block that they have had your packet over 60 days...was wondering if you have inquired as to the reason for the delay?
You absolutely, positively must have a Hawaiian Shirt to do the Wally Walk in!
