I would urge all to consider the sheer volume with which the DPS is dealing and understand that calling and sending duplicate docs only slows them down.

***************UPDATE*********************

Today is the 3 week mark since I received the confirmation email from RSD-CHL verifying receipt of my documents. I was curious as to why there hasn't been any change at TxDPS-RSD-CHL website.....so I called. I was told that it takes 6 WEEKS from that date (receipt conf. email date) for my application JUST to "process". After it finishes "processing" it will be 60 more days before my background check is complete...THEN I will have a "status change" on the website.
WOW.

Wow, reading this, I might as well just wait until the cows (no actual cows in my area of texas) come home.

estimation:

May 14th, submitted PW online. + 60 days. July 13th, for step 1 processing. +60 days. Sept 14th. Wow...

Hey I was calling once a day, and checking the website through out the day starting day 20. It drove me crazy but was well worth it once i saw a change!

**********UPDATE********
I called June 11th to see what "stage" my application was in. I was told that they could neither confirm nor deny my application "was even in process". I asked to confirm that all necessary info had been received for processing. The girl said that they were "waiting on my course completion paperwork". I asked if she was referring to my CHL100, and she said yes. I told her that it was sent via secured email on DPS-CHL portal on 5-21...asked should I send it again. She says no. I'm dumbfounded. I say okay and she goes into he spiel about how long it takes and if they need more info, they'll notify me by mail. I tell her...we're speaking right now, today ...and I can get you whatever you need. She asks if I got an email confirmation of receipt of additional docs..I say yes. She says that everything should be fine. Call ends with me still scratching my head. So I send an email (that same day) explaining what I was told and reiterate that I'm more than willing to resend docs if they're lost. Got a response yesterday confirming all docs WERE received and that she had submitted "an escalation" for my application to a supervisor in order to get it processed. It's been 6 weeks and my app needs "an escalation" in order to get processed?! Wow.
