On day 44 the web site is now showing:

Concealed Handgun License : Mailed

I suspect it is merely in someone's outbox, but hopefully I will get it by this time next week. At any rate I no longer will be checking the DPS web site every day. Now I will start checking my mailbox instead. :mrgreen:

Also anyone worried about background issues criminal wise. I had an arrest for a class A and a conviction for a class B both barley over 5 years old when I applied. I didnt send copies of my paperwork but I did give cause numbers and disposition numbers. I was never requested to send additional documentation or copies anything like that. Just thought id share for anyone worried about it
