13 business days and no update. I have only lived in Denton and Collin counties the last 5 years and squeaky clean with a DD214. I will give them another full week before I call to ensure they have docs....
you should called them soon, if you wait 1 more week and they don't have the paper work you will have to wait longer.it doesn't hurt to call them today, but call between 6 pm and 6;30pm that girl that doesn't like to tell you anything is gone by then.

Okay...
Feb 6, filled out paperwork online,
Feb 7, CHL class
Feb 10, fingerprints
Feb 10, sent paperwork in the evening
Feb 11, got confirmation e-mail of paperwork received...

So most people are saying that it takes 2-3 weeks? So I should have mine by Mar 1...
