Welcome to the forum, and welcome to Texas!

This was my own timeline, which might give you some idea of where things are right now with their backlog and that you submitted about 10 days after me:


6/3/15 Initial Application submitted & acknowledged
6/9/15 Fingerprints completed
6/11/15 CHL class completed
6/12/15 Submitted supporting documents
6/12/15 Acknowledgement of supporting documents received
7/1/15 DPS approved, printed
7/6/15 Plastic received

Nice to meet you Glockster!!! I assume your screen name is such because you own a Glock? ;-) I have an HK p30sk. Looks like you had to wait just shy of a month to get your plastic. I plan to call next week at the 3 week mark for a status update.

Well, you know how screen names go...I've always had Glocks and at one point had six. Now I only have my 23 (.40S&W), but also have a Kimber Ultra CDP .45, and my new HK VP40 LE and HK 45 Tactical. But GlockKimberH&K would be a complex screen name! :tiphat:

Nice assortment of firearms Glockster. I'm still debating what to get next. The p30sk will be my edc so maybe a nice range pistol of some sort. On a side note, what about Glimberhk?

Welcome. I'm a new resident also. (Michigan)

Here is my timeline:
"New Texas resident from Michigan and hold ... held a Michigan CPL:

05/27/15 - Class

... - wait for Texas D/L to arrive for audit number

05/30/15 - D/L arrived! Online DPS Register/Application, fingerprint scheduled
06/02/15 - Electronic fingerprints/photo, support documents emailed
06/04/15 - Received email that support documents received; no online status update as of yet

<insert Jeopardy music here>"

Still waiting, but hope for receipt soon as it seems many who have submitted at approximately the same time are receiving there's. I suspect the out-of-state check has something to do with the "delay", keeping in mind that they have "60 days" to issue.

Good luck.

Nice to meet you Winsum. I came from New Jersey (super unfriendly firearm state). You basically have to be a god to get a chl there, in addition to applying for permits to purchase ammunition/gun and get a license to even own a gun. So I never bothered to even apply until I came here. Can't believe how long of a wait you've been enduring, hopefully you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.
