Usually 3-4 weeks after they get your information entered into the system.

Ok, late in joining, but I feel your pain. Took the class in Plano at the Bullet Trap. Good times. Dave is my brain! (Anyone taking the class there might understand that)

New to the forums, been on a few times to look up a question, you'd be surprised how often this forum is the top result on Google for Texas CHL questions.
Not sure when I sent off the packet, the received receipt came dated March 5. I wonder if being an under 21 applicant will slow it down much.

update:
website status updated within last 24 hrs to "Processing Application" instead of the previous "Mailed to Applicant"
Been checking just about daily since dropping off the packet.
