Renewal plastic in hand today. Mailed 1/28/13 plastic in hand 2/27/13.

According to my picture I haven't aged a day

Well, the status was updated this morning to MAILED!!

Less than a one month turnaround time. Wish first time applicants had it this easy

Checked last night; background check completed and manufacturing of license going on right now.

Should have it before the end of the week it looks like. Sweet.

Spoke too early...it was "pending MFG" on Sunday and Monday. Today it updated to "MFG" today.

Hopefully it'll mail out soon (ie, TOMORROW) and I can get my grubby hands on it before the end of the week.

Almost didn't check the website today since it's Sunday and seldom is anything updated on a weekend, especially with the government, but I did and am glad I did.

Yesterday I had the "Online application received; waiting on materials" status and now it's been updated to "materials received, background check underway."

So far my renewal process hasn't been too shabby.

I mailed my packet in on 1/17 and I am still getting the same message as you today. From what I hear it takes a good 3 to 4 weeks for them to even show that it has been received.
I am still patiently waiting for my 1st update, trying not to check everyday. Ordered my first OWB holster and have been practicing wearing it at home under an un-tucked shirt. I know it will probably still be a while before I get the plastic but I am getting ready. I also went ahead and took the plunge and ordered a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster and am patiently waiting for it to come in as well.

Hang in there, I will post when I get my first update.

Was about to put up a whole new thread when I read this.

I sent in for my first renewal; DPS got my stuff on Jan. 31st. Online it still says: License Status: Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials. Once the application and materials have been received by Concealed Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page.

My timing really sucks with CHL. My first time was when DPS was just slammed and didn't have as many reviewers as they do today. IIRC it took them almost 3 months to get my CHL to me. Now, I'm sure there's a flood of new applicants due to....current (political) events.

At any rate, my current CHL doesn't expire until March so I guess I don't have any reason to worry.

ETA: wow my old CHL timeline is still in my signature...wow. Time to update it...
