Still waiting. I'm calling Monday!!
Any word? Website still hasn't changed for me. I know they have already started my bg check, but that should be literally instant. I have almost no criminal history; no arrests (luckily), I have had my fair share of tickets but nothing violent and only class C tickets. Plus I've bought 3 guns this year and all three I was out of the store within 30 minutes (mind you some browsing time).
A CHL background check is much more thorough than a NICS check. The following is what I saw in another thread on here. I assume it to be true.
"DPS sends an employee into each county where you have lived for the last 5 years (5 I believe) to conduct an in person background. They check the county and district criminal clerk and District civil clerk. The tax assessor is also queried"
And what if you lived out of state basically the previous 4 years?
