I mailed my CHL docs last Wed. It's Monday and I've not rec'd a stauts change nor my delivery receipt. Whne should I start to worry?

You should receive your delivery receipt by Wednesday , as it will take 2 days to get there and 2 days back to you (approximately, and the days are business days)
As far as status change on the website, the normal time is about 2 weeks after they receive it, it shows up.
Patience will be a good thing, if you have no issues, you should have your CHL about 35 days or so after they receive it (not after it shows up on the website), so take the next 4 - 5 weeks reading, asking lots of questions and doing a lot of learning, it will certainly pay off in the end.

WELCOME!

Much patience will be required for the next 2 months.

2-3 weeks for DPS to update the website showing they received your app.

3-6 weeks in background check

1-2 weeks after they mail your plastic

Check out http://texaschlforum.com/viewforum.php?f=42. This is a link to the waiting room. You will see others timelines and get a good idea of how long it takes.

This should be in the waiting room.
