Now I can stop checking the DPS website 42 times an hour! The top 10 other positives of my status change:
1. Comcast will stop sending me emails complaining about my data usage
2. At&t will unlock my phone after accusing me of causing a DOS (denial of service) attack on the DPS website
3. I can finally take a shower again
4. I can get a new keyboard after wearing out the keypad typing my diver license number over and over
5. I can feed the dog and water the plants
6. I can go back to work (darn!)
7. I can stop carrying 6 different holsters and guns around the house trying to decide what I can actually conceal
8. I will stop pestering my wife asking can you see my gun now? How about now? What about here?
9. I can stop causing an undue load on Texaschlforum constantly spreadsheeting and mapping all of the other applicants timelines
10. And the number 1 benefit... I can legally carry!!!
"rlol" :smilelol5: :clapping:

Yeah!!! Now where's that mailman??? He usually comes at 2pm. I wonder if I go to the station if they will let me help unload the intercity truck? Hmmm maybe if I went to Austin I could help stamp the mail... "rlol" "rlol" "rlol"
Some funny stuff there. :rolll

Re: January 2014

One upside to all this waiting is that I've finally memorized my drivers license number from constantly logging in to the Web site to check on my status. ;-) FWIW, 57 days and still:

Re: January 2014

01/08 - submitted online application
01/12 - passed my CHL class
01/16 - got fingerprinted and mailed in my CHL 100 and checklist via certified mail
01/18 - received confirmation e-mail:
We have received the necessary information for your CHL application. No further action or documents are required on your part at this time. A specialist will review and process your application. If anything further is needed we will contact you by regular mail. The online status of your application will likely update just before the process completes. This can take up to 8 weeks from when your last documents were submitted.


Because of that last part and what others have told me on a couple of other forums, I didn't even start to look at the online updates until 02/18. At first I only saw the dreaded "waiting to receive documents" status, despite the e-mail stating that they'd received all of my documents. Not to worry, I used to work for the State, so I know that the paper work sometimes gets way ahead of the data entry into the Web based systems. On March 5, the online status change to:
Application : Received
Fingerprints : Under review
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received
Photo : Received
Proof of Classroom training : Received
Proof of Proficiency training : Received
Fee : Received
Background Check : Under review
Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review
No change since the 5th and it 8 weeks is coming up.
