Still shows waiting on documents August 10.

Kinda hurts seeing so many people with updates or even getting their license who submitted later than me.

July 22nd: Mailed USPS Express (one day guaranteed)

July 23rd: Fingerprints/Tracking says it has been delivered

August 2nd: Documents received/Backround check under review

It's been in "background check under review" since last Friday, the 2nd, and still no change. I was really hoping that it would be done as quickly as some of the applications at the beginning of this month (1-2 days) and that it would be mailed and possibly in hand this week. I guess now the earliest I can hope for is mailed tomorrow and in hand Saturday or Monday. I guess it's better than my father's application which took close to 60 days when he submitted it back in March. Now I just need to get a new belt, some more carry ammo, and a mag pouch to be completely set for when it finally does get here. Buying more shirts tomorrow that conceal better for work since most of the ones I have are too small even if I wasn't going to be carrying.

My VA CHP is valid in TX until it's expiration (summer 2017) under a reciprocity agreement, but I figured I'd rather get a local license to avoid any misunderstandings.

Here is my timeline:
- 07/20/13 - Completed online application
- 07/24/13 - Fingerprints
- 07/26/13 - CHL class
- 07/26/13 - Mailed out documents - Wait begins
- 07/29/13 - Mail package received per USPS tracking system
- 08/06/13 - Application received per DPS system, Background check under review

We'll see how long this takes - it looks like processing times vary greatly. My background is chrystal clear - not even a parking ticket - and I have a current VA CHP so you'd think it should be reasonably quick. But then I'm a Naturalized Citizen and was born and raised in the former Soviet Union, so it may delay things a bit...with me being an ex-commie and all...

Well, it FINALLY updated past the initial "application has been processed online/waiting for required materials" to the more detailed update screen and everything is received and the background check is under review. I started the application online on the 21st, mailed the 22nd, and fingerprints the 23rd. Hopefully I'll get lucky like a few others and the background check will only take a day and tomorrow it will say "manufacturing pending".

Can't wait!

As of today, July 19 it still shows that DPS is waiting on the paperwork.

I sent mine on 6/28. DPS didm't update ANYTHING until 7/15 (right to Manufacturing pending). Now, I am stalking the mailbox.

So, that's what I think they do to nearly everyone.... except for X... Radioactive. 10 days...mailbox to mailbox. Now, that's insane!

Thanks! That gives hope.

July 23: Updated--Fingerprints and Background is under review.

FP & BG is completed

Will check the mail on Tuesday in anticipation......

Needed the new CHL 100 form since I got mine a while back and waited too long to mail it in with the payment. Payment and new CHL 100 form should complete the packet, so I am counting today as the day I finally got it all right and in the mail.
25 July to ???? Hopefully by my B-day on Aug 31!!!
