Under Review

Hoping it goes quickly for you. It does not hurt to call them to check status. They will likely refer you to the website to check status and will tell you how much time they have to get it done. If you are polite yet persistent, they may help you.

FAQs say no. Please look for yourself and do not take my word for it.

33. I have applied for a Texas License to Carry a Handgun (LTC). When can I begin carrying my handgun?
You can begin carrying your handgun upon receipt of the physical license. As a reminder, HB 910 related to open carry becomes effective January 1, 2016. Issuance of the LTC prior to the effective date does not provide authority for license holders to carry openly before the effective date of the new law.

34. My Texas License to Carry a Handgun (LTC) has expired, and my renewal application is in process. Can I carry a handgun while I am waiting to receive my new license?
No. There is no grace period or extension for an expired LTC, even if your renewal application has been submitted. You must wait until you receive the LTC before you are allowed to carry a handgun.

I would call them and see what they say. You may have to wait a while before they will reissue.

I have had my CHL for a while and it was a different process then. Can anyone provide some insight?

I found that it sometimes takes some time for IdentoGo to find a recent applicant in their system. I am not sure the timeframe, but I do recall it was not available right away for my wife and I. I want to say there was a separate email that came a bit later that gave instructions and maybe even a link to access the Identogo stuff.

Waiting to receive it!

You should have it soon!

Nice that to got them the same day! I was hoping my wife and I would have, but hers took months longer.

Congrats!

My wife's finally came in today!

Amen to that!

Nice timeline!

My wife's did not come in today, but only the second day of it saying "mailed". Checking the mailbox daily rather than online status.

That's what they told me too, I went all green Monday (2/27) except for "pending print".

Still the same this AM.

Checking daily, but no change as of today.
