I mailed my packet to DPS on 8/22 and it was received on 8/24. Finally, today (9/12) the status changed to background check under review.

The day had gotten off to a really bad start until I checked the DPS website. My background check now shows complete with manufacture pending.

Awesome. Yours is one day behind mine. I'm hoping mine will show 'Mailed' tomorrow.

When I mailed in my paperwork on 8/22, I had accepted that I was basically giving up a whole year since my birthday was coming up on Oct 5th, but I was impatient. I just noticed that it expires on 10/5/17, so I couldn't have timed that more perfectly.
