It's Here! My CHL just came in the mail today! About 28 days from mailing the packet til recieving the license, not bad at all really.
I was hoping to do my first carry this afternoon, but now it's getting to be rush hour (DFW area), it's raining a bit, and storms are on the way. Maybe I'll just wait till the morning.

johnson0317, very well put, and good food for thought.

Texaspirate - Congrats! Now I'm next (I hope)

I was really hoping that since mine showed "mailed" on Wednesday that I'd have it by the weekend. No such luck of course. Now I'm hoping to see it on Mon or Tue.

I don't know why I expect mine to arrive so soon, especially with everyone else's long delays in mailing.

Great! Hopefully yours will go straight to "Mailed" tomorrow like mine did.

Wow!
I just checked my status this morning (Yesterday it said "Manufacturing pending") and I expected it to say "Manufacturing", but it went straight to "Mailed"!
Sounds good to me...

progress!
Background completed and manufacturing pending!
Getting closer....

Well they finally got my Training Completed form (where the instructor had put in "same as above" instead of filling out printed name, location and date). Now it's just down to Bacground check under review.

After hearing of a few others with prior military taking a bit longer, it looks like this may take awhile for me too. I retired after 25 years in the Army, and had a full background investigation every two years for my Top Secret/SBI clearance. I know my prints are on file at the FBI a bunch of times! Hopefully they'll figure it out soon, and get my check completed.

At least it should take less time, as my clearances in the military took about a year to complete each time (but thats when they sent investigators door-to-door to check you out).

I'll pour another cup of coffee and sit back I guess...

Well I got my first update, only to find that my Proficiency Training was listed as "Not Recieved" because the instructor did not fully complete the form. See my post under the General Texas CHL Discussion for the details.
