Hope for those out there, DPS processed quickly

Hey everyone. I normally don't post on forums, although i did a fair amount of reading while i was waiting for my app to be processed. I just wanted to provide my process story so that those out there hear both the good as well as the bad.

I submitted my application online on July 13, 2012. I went in for my FAST fingerprinting on July 25, 2012 and took my CHL class on July 28, 2012 at the Memorial Shooting Center here in Houston, Texas. After that, my application was complete and I mailed everything via certified mail, return receipt requested, on July 30, 2012. The DPS received it on August 1, 2012.

My status did not change at that point for nearly two weeks. However, on August 10, 2012, my application went to "received" and "background: under review." Less than a week later, on August 17, 2012, my status changed to background check complete manufacturing pending. Yesterday, August 20, 2012, it changed to "mailed." Unless the post office loses it, i should get it today or tomorrow, so just slightly over three full weeks door-to-door. I was very pleased with this turn around period.

I have been an Arizona ccw holder for 9 years so I wasn't going crazy waiting or anything like that, since i can carry legally with my Arizona permit.

hopefully everyone else who recently submitted an app gets a fast turn around time too. good luck!
