That's about three weeks from delivering application to being licensed. If they get the card to me in a week it'll be under 1 month. :)
Just realized I had not posted.... only took 1 day to receive the card in the mail (probably because I live in Austin).

Just got a reply from my email and said the application is almost complete. Not sure what that means but hopefully it will not be long now.

So my online status still says "Processing Application." Realizing that it's only been 30 days since I mailed in the paperwork, I decided that my lack of patience was getting the best of me - so I phoned Austin to "see if I could provided any additional information..."
The very professional and helpful womann on the phone informed me that my application was COMPLETED and my CHL was issued today. I figure another week before it's printed and received.
That's pretty quick, IMHO!

Nice to hear they were nice. I understand they have to send it to a printer then it has to be verified before they send it to you.

Got tired of waiting, so I just called and found out that "it" is at the printer.
Thank you again for all of your help.
Old school is now out of the doghouse for getting his before I did.

Application complete in less than a month!!! Even better considering the Christmas and New Years Holiday's. Now my time can be spent watching for postman to make the drop instead of checking the Crime Records Service website. I hope those of you still in the "Processing Application" holding pattern have similar success.

Checking this morning, it was exactly as the DPS rep told me...
Application Completed - license issued or certificate active
I think I'll go shopping today for a new carry piece.

Well it looks like they approved me as well today
I logged in this morning to Application Completed - license issued or certificate active.
Now I have to wait on the mail.
I also noticed Grumble lives in Allen perhaps we had a Collin county batch go through yesterday.
I was born outside the country and had a out of state background check so all in all not too bad.

Looks like mine is going to take a while longer. I got excited by all of y'alls recent approvals so I gave them a call. Supposedly a letter has been sent explaining that they need more info on a disposition. That is all the girl could tell me. So now I am waiting on the letter to find out what they are wanting.

Ugh! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will be something that can be cleared up quickly.
