I tried calling twice and was given the canned answer "It could take 30 days for your paperwork to show as received". It doesnt hurt to try as you may get on the phone with a very helpful rep that will explain the situation better.

08/02 - CHL Application / Affidavit / Fee
08/03 - CHL Class Complete
08/04 - All paperwork submitted online
08/04 to 08/09 - Wondering when work is going to stop me from checking the status every hour
08/09 - Status page is updated to show Background Check Pending
08/09 to 08/15 - Repeat the waiting game. Feeling a little foolish reading how long some have been waiting and starting to expect the 30+ day wait. (Didn't stop me from checking a couple times a day)
08/15 - Everything is complete and the status page shows Manufacture Pending.

Does anyone have any experience with how long the wait will be now?

Well, step 1 is complete. The status page was updated today to show that my fingerprints and background check are under review. :)

Thanks for the welcome!

It seems like the apps are being processed pretty fast these days but I was thinking that it was going to get clogged up in Sept.

I have a tactical shirt for work carry with my shirt tucked in and an IWB for more casual days. I am pretty sure my wife is tired of me changing clothes and asking "Can you see my gun now?"

Hi there, I am new poster and long time reader. Thanks for all the good information across all the boards.

I submitted my CHL-100 and Checklist today here (https://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/contact/default.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and am doing my fingerprints tomorrow afternoon.

I will update this as more information is available
