FINALLY, my online status hasn't reflected it yet, but this morning i received an email from the DPS notifying me that my background check is complete and i should be receiving my license within 2 weeks!

12/31/10 - took class
1/1/11 - online application
1/3/11 - mailed paperwork
1/6/11 - DPS received
1/10/11 - 1st status available online
2/23/11 - application approved

so even with a juvenile class B misdemeanor listed on my app, mine was processed well within the 60 day time frame from when they received my paperwork. now for the worst part of the wait :totap:
Congrats! :cheers2:

I sent my packet on 1/3 and I think it took 8 days for it to register in the system. Don't know if they got really busy all of a sudden with everything that happened in Arizona, but 3 weeks is way longer than it was taking a couple of weeks ago.

The checks for CHL are basic records searches, and seem to take hardly any time at all. They can do it in sixty seconds, as its all computerized.

If the Feebs really do an in-depth check - as is the case with me, my company, and employees - it takes months.

As in four to six.

They send letters to your employer, your friends, your neighbors - even the ones who don't like you - and make random, in-person visits if there is any suspicious or occasionally unlawful activity in your backgound. If you are selected for a personal interview, you get the full FBI treatment. Suits, badges, unexpected out-of-the-blue visit, long silences with blank expressions so that you will nervously fill the empty places with inane chatter, the whole nine yards.

Talk about pins and needles.

Waiting 60 days for a carry license? Its the blink of an eye!
What kind of company do you have? I work for an industrial supply company and NASA and their subcontractors are part of my territory.

:iagree: I'm starting to think that "mailed" doesn't really mean in the custody of the Postal Service. Maybe they need another step between Manufacturing and Mailed like Mail Pending... :banghead:
Unless they paid some bum to walk it down here from Austin, I think you are right.

Re: January 2011 Applications

Next time I have to mail something I need to see how much money I can save downgrading from the "USPS Priority" that I usually use to the "USPS We'll-Get-It-There-When-We-Get-It-There" that the state apparently uses. This is the longest trip from Austin ever. They should have a pickup option. Sorry for the venting, just getting tired of waiting on the mailman to show up.

Re: January 2011 Applications

Another day or two and it will be theories of black holes and even possibly global warming as the mail culprit. Good luck!

Re: January 2011 Applications

I was sure I would have mine in the mail today. Status changed to "mailed" on Tuesday. But I just went and checked it...still nothing. :mad5
Anybody else have any luck yet?

Just checked the mail hoping there was a little bit of a lag in updating the website. Not there. :waiting:
