Plastic finally arrived yesterday. Said "mailed" a week ago. A friend that took the class with me but applied online after me, and sent his packet in after me, received his yesterday too.

I think if you mail it in, they wait a few days before actually checking it.
If it says "mailed," like has been said before, they probably sit on it until they have enough ready to go at the same time before actually mailing it.

Background Check : Completed Feb. 9
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending
So the DPS is still perking along quite fast in processing new licenses and I can look forward to seeing a picture of my ugly mug in the mail pretty soon.

GAM wrote:Howdy All,
I just found this nice forum and signed up. It looks like there is a treasure trove's worth of information to read here. What follows is the time line for my CHL application submission so far:
Online application submitted to DPS (My instructor had us do this ahead of time): Jan. 17
Class completed: Jan. 22
All forms to DPS in Austin (It was part of the class fee for the instructor to drop them off): Jan. 24
As of Jan. 31, the only non-green item is Background check: Under review

It is all is going quite swiftly for a government licensing operation.

Cheers from Dripping Springs,

Mine was delivered the 24th, and I'm still under review for fingerprints and background. Hopefully I'm not too far behind you. I was hoping it would come in the mail this week, but I guess a few more days wait won't hurt. I should have done this years ago anyway...

Mine was delivered 11 days ago (9 business days) and yet the website still shows "awaiting required materials."

Looks like mine will definitely be more than the 17 days above.

I lurked, but the suspense grew so bad that I had to tell people that understood what I was going through.

Status still "application processed online, awaiting delivery of required materials."

I'd be happy now if they'd just open the darn envelope and reflect that on their site.

In anticipation of my license arriving I wandered into a gun show this weekend and left with a little less cash in my pocket...Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II. Last night my Supertuck was ordered, and today I am shopping for belts while I sit inside hiding from all the ice that gave me the last 2 days off.

Background check should be seamless, other than my moves during college. My hands are really dry though, so my fingerprints weren't stellar. Hopefully they go through fine. (I wish they would check all the other fingerprinting databases, or use past FBI fingerprint checks. I have done so for the TX State Bar and for TX Insurance licensing).
