There are rumors circulating that I slept with my new CHL under my pillow that night.
I refuse to confirm any such rumors.
I don't blame you though, I'm currently watching throughout the front windows of the house towards our mailbox... waiting on the mail lady to come

Re: April Application
The pics I've seen of people's envelopes show that the DPS sends them First Class USPS, which should get to most places in Texas in 1-2 days. They obviously don't actually get them in the mail the same day that they update to "mailed"
Of course there is no way the wait for it to show up after getting mailed will drive me as crazy as waiting in background check status. That was pure torture

Re: April Application
Mine updates to "mailed" this morning! 
My timeline goes as follows:
April 18 - mailed packet to DPS
May 19 - updated to background check under review
June 9 - updated to manufacturing pending
June 11 - updated to manufacturing
June 12 - updated to mailed
It seems most people's licenses are actually postmarked 2 days after the "mailed" update, so I imagine mine will ship on Friday or Saturday and I'll get it on Monday

Re: April Application
Go back to page 9 of this thread and read my post (5th one from the top). That may answer your question.cprems wrote:They received mine April 10 and updated 5/15 to BG review.
April 10 - 54 days
May 15 - 20 days
I believe they are going by the "complete application received" date and not the "initial CMRRR" date. So, I either have 6 days or 40 days...
Mine is a little unusual as I have a couple of DA's that are over 5 years old and will get handled in their special DA section. I am not worried though, I will just sit back and wait.
Can anyone confirm the dates? Is it from receipt or BG review?
Either way, I am Ok with waiting - for now.

Re: April Application
I spoke with a lady at the DPS this morning in regards to my application (who offered no help at all), which has been in BG check for just over 2 weeks now. She told me that my application still has 2.5 - 3 weeks left until it's "due" Looking a calendar, that would put their 60 day time period around when they would have physically received my packet in the mail, NOT when it first updated on the DPS site.

Re: April Application
I mailed my packet in on April 18 and was updated yesterday, May 19, to background check under review. Looks like they are moving along pretty well recently
