Thank you. Will do

I've joined the elite group who actually have their CHL. My wife just brought in the mail and there it was.

Go to the range and practice?

Definitely planned on that. I have been thinking about some sort of competitive shooting. Need to find out whats around this neck of the woods.

Well,

Checked today and this is my status. Finally shows something other than "Apply for Application".

Looks like it took exactly 3 weeks for anything to show up.

It NEVER updated during my processing and i received plastic 38 days from the day the DPS received it. . .I called 21 days in just to see what I could find out and was told on the phone that my "license had been issued and to watch the mailbox". . . 17 looooooong days later it arrived!
Don't waste your time with the website, spend that time browsing this forum and learning!! Good Luck to you!

Well, this makes me feel alot better! I'm glad I found this forum and hope to spend more time here with like minded people. Seems like a great bunch of folks.

I did get an e-mail back stating "Your application has not been entered into the system. It is likely going through the processes required for entry". I sent back asking how long it takes once they receive the application to get "entered into their system". Response was "generally 2-4 weeks".

Thank you for the reply.

It would be nice to know if they even received my application package. I guess it's my fault for not requesting a delivery confirmation.

Hello all,

This is my first post and hopefully someone can shed some light on a question I have regarding the TxDPS site.
I applied online on 12/9 and sent all required items in on 12/14. I sent it priority mail so they should have received it by 12/17.

Question: When I log onto the TXDPS site under "Online Services", then "Login to check status of a current application" it takes me to a "Choose Service" screen. On this screen it only gives these options:
Apply or Renew
Apply for your concealed handgun license
Apply for your instructor certificate
Apply for your concealed handgun license AND your instructor certificate it only gives these options:

Is this normal to not have any status showing?

Thank you for the help.
