Yeah, me too ... I thought I had time to spare. Not that I'm griping, mind you ... but sixteen calendar days from received to "manufacturing" is crazy-fast from what I've read.

Update 8/27:
Background Check : Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending

Yes indeed, did the digital fingerprints and the on-line application, all prior to taking the class. I'm very comfortable with on-line data transfer and transactions anyway, and the folks I know who went the paper route all had issues, so I went electronic.

Good luck!

That's how mine looks, except for the Background Check line, which says "Under Review". I sent mine in on the 9th and they received it on the 11th, so you're a bit farther along than me ... but I have a tremendously common surname (Smith, yes it really is), so I expect it takes longer to sort me out from all the other females with my name.

7/6/2010: Online application transaction
8/7/2010: CHL Class
8/9/2010: Packet mailed
8/13/2010: Received green "receipt" card indicating forms arrived at DPS 8/11
8/18/2010: "Application in progress"; all information received/OK, background check in progress

This is worse than Christmas when I was a kid ... My rational self knows there's no possibility of acknowledgment yet (I mailed the package Monday and this is Thursday) ... but Ms. Brain Stem keeps poking me to go check.
