In March I was given to understand that CHL applications/renewals were down to around a one month or so turnaround, but my renewal has been "waiting on receipt of required materials" for a little better than two months now. Is this consistent with others' experience, or should I call and ask WTF?

If calling would do any good, is there a particular number to call or person to ask for?

If it has been 60 days I'd call.  The status pages are notoriously not updated rgularly, though.  Check the DPS site for the phone number.  
Other than that, how ya doing man?

I'll try a call to Austin, thanks.

Status unchanged, one interesting possible concept aside. Give me a call if you've got time. I'd like your opinion.

I sent my renewal on 4-16.
They received it 4-18
Mine took about 3 weeks to start saying something other than "waiting on receipt."
Mine changed to "pending manufacture" on 5-19 and "mailed" on 5-20.
I hope to have it soon.

Mine took just over 60 days to show receipt of required materials then everything went through within two weeks or so and I had it 3 months after submitting.

When did you mail in your CHL-100?

Actually, I've just worked out the dates on mine, I was wrong.



It only took 2 months (almost to the day) from sending in materials to getting my CHL.



This was before electronic fingerprints (just).

It took about a month from when they received my paperwork (as confirmed by a return receipt) until the webpage said it was received. About a month after that I got my CHL. This was an initial application.

I got through on the phone this morning and there is no record of my stuff being received there in Austin. She said they're already processing materials received in late April.

The lady with DPS gave me their fax number, so I just faxed in my CHL-100 and my DD-214. We'll see where that gets me.

From the day I mailed my renewal packet w/everything, including my Certificate of Military Service in place of my DD214, to the day I received my license in the mail, was three weeks and two days.

Requested my renewal package two weeks ago. Still waiting on it.









Hey LordTrader, yours should be due now too since we took the last renewal class together. Let's buddy up again.

I would call after waiting that long. I had mine in hand 21 days after I submitted in October, but from what ive heard that was the fastest many had ever seen.
DItto to them not updating the website. Mine was in my wallet while the site still read "waiting on materials".

How did you request a package?  Did you go online and pay?  DPS does not sed out renewal packages anymore.

It took almost 7months for me to get mine because of a paper work foul up, and some laziness on the part of an employee. I'm the exception though, most of my friends have had theirs in 6 weeks or less, give the DPS down in Austin a call and see whats up

You should have printed out a receipt with a bar code on it.  All you need to do now is go take the class and get your CHL 100.   There are no more pics or prints for renewals.

But you can send in new pictures if you want.
I did since my looks have changed dramatically the last couple of years.

I called Austin on Tuesday and that conversation was the basis for my post above. They never received the stuff I mailed them two months ago. Registered mail for me from now on.

I faxed in my CHL-100 and DD-214 after the phone call. We'll see how long I dangle now.
