today...

Day-131: The Quest continues. I spoke to a rep. at DPS and She told me that they are still waiting on my BC. I asked her who I could contact about the delay. She said that I should contact my state Rep. so they could increase the budget so they can hire more people.

Actually, this is really good advice - maybe not so much about the 'increase the budget', but contacting your rep really will help get things expedited. More people should do this.

But you have to tell me - what is your avatar? It's driving me crazy. I keep thinking it's from a Pixar film but cannot place it.

yes , the best thing to do is contact your rep that has an Austin office.

My avatar is Jeff Dunham's "Walter". Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist.

THANKS! I've seen it several times, just couldn't remember where.

Walter is the best. He is funny. Helps take your mind off the wait.

Spoke to my state rep today, he was shocked that im 125 days in and havent heard anything, so hopefully i will hear something soon!!!!!

It does give you hope but Ill tell you this. I contacted my rep and he spoke to DPS as well. The moved it from waiting on BG check to waiting on printing. That was 15 days ago now. Atleast its a different line Im waiting in now. Im almost to 4 1/2 months and wonder if I will surpass 5 before I actually get mine.

Just hit 4 months waiting. Still processing.

This is just rediculous. Oh...and I'm in Harris County. So I guess that just screws me even more.

Well, mine finally switched to "No Application or License/Certificate Active" tonight. The odd thing is that when I checked it at 5PM it said "No Application or License/Certificate Active", when I checked it at 7:30 it said "Processing Application" again, and when I checked it at 7:45 it was back to "No Application or License/Certificate Active". Hopefully this means I will recieve my CHL within a few days.

Plastic arrived today (three days after status changed to "Application Complete..." Instead of a Wally Walk, I did a Northpark Mall walk. I tried on several pairs of shoes (sandals actually) which required sitting and bending over. I wore jeans and a dark Pirate Pete's t-shirt. I used an IWB holster for my Glock 19 and, while I'm not truly happy with the feel, I had no problem with concealment (according to my wife).
