Initial application: 3 Feb 14
Documents submitted online: 10 Feb 14

I also called Friday, 7 March for my 30-day status update, and the lady I spoke with said "they were still going through January's applications," so take that for what it's worth.

This came up overnight:

Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete
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
Proof of Special Condition : Received
Fee : Received
Background Check : Under review
Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review

So this system does update overnight because I checked around 730pm or so yesterday. 40 days from DPS receipt of materials to background review....should be soon now.

I've been under review for my background check since last Friday, and was wondering what the hold up for me is since most other February applicants seem to have gotten theirs completed in a day or two. I have a clean record (save for a ticket for doing a California Stop at a stop sign), been in the same house for the last five years, and recently passed an instant background check when purchasing a handgun within the last two weeks....should I be concerned?

I don't think you should be. I've had some traffic tickets within last few years.

I've moved around a lot the last few years, only a few months at current location.

Didn't have any problems

Trashy,

I'll add that my wife submitted hers on same day, never had a traffic ticket in her life or any other issues at all and her status hasn't updated all.

Like I've said before. There doesn't appear to be any real method to how they do things.

Agreed. Updated overnight:

Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete
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
Proof of Special Condition : Received
Fee : Received
Background Check : Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending

47 days from DPS receipt of documents to BGC completion...looks to be about average, no?

And now the wait begins.......

Plastic in hand 3/15!! Maiden voyage was to Walmart. Piece of cake!

16 days from submission to plastic?! That's gotta be a record.

Congrats...but WTH for the rest of us that submitted before??

Nothing against the unbelievably lucky OP who scored the plastic in such short time (congratulations again, BTW), but being told to expect long waits that range from 30 to 120 days or more due to state bureaucracy would be understandable and easier to deal with if applications were processed as they are received (in fairness to all applicants). But seeing things like this can be upsetting to many, many people who applied long before the OP.

Sorry...Wasn't gloating about the lucky turn around time. Was just excited to get it.
