Thanks! nocents!

Plastic is here! For all who have received their license, congratulations! Carry with pride and most of all, carry safely! To those who are still waiting, keep hanging on, yours will soon be here! Texans are proud people and it shows by the excitement of the people on this forum. And to all, I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, BUT IT'S EVEN BETTER BEING A TEXAN!!

congrats! euc! you're giving me hope! Just waiting on the mail to come...

I will keep you posted. my life story:

02-02-2013: CHL Class/Online application-payment. (set appointment for fingerprints)
02-18-2013: Mailed off packet to TX DPS; paperwork, forms, photos, history, etc.
03-04-2013: Fingerprints submitted. (This was the first available date and I had to travel from Amarillo to Lubbock)
03-26-2013: Status online changed to reflect all information was received.
04-07-2013: Background complete-Manufacturing pending
04-09-2013: Manufacturing
04-11-2013:Mailed

I began to relax once the TX DPS site acknowledged me and then when the background cleared. Now my only fear is that now that it has been mailed, It will either get lost, delivered to the wrong house, fly out of the mailbox, etc.

The first thing I am doing when I receive my plastic is head to my favorite, local pawn shop, and purchase my concealment pistol they have been holding for me:
Colt .45 Defender new in the box. It will sure be nice to replace the bright orange water gun that is currently in my shoulder holster.

Hello euc,

I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. My status changed to mail on 4-11-2013 also and I have been watching the mailbox as well as your post. Nothing is worse than 'knowing' it is in the mailbox only to find something for everyone else in the household. Like a kid who cant wait for Christmas, receiving that plastic will be an exciting moment.
