This is a major step toward further streamlining the licensing process and more changes are in the works.

You’ll also read in the bulletin that from April 28-May 3 the FBI will be processing the 484,000 census employees. This could cause a slight slowdown in the current CHL processing time (20-27 days) but the department believes they can overcome even that.

DPS Director Steven McCraw has added new people with new ideas, looking at public safety, customer service, and the best use of technology. Bucket brigade processing is a thing of the past.
