Hey everybody. Last night I posted my status above. Today, I had some free time and thought, "what the hay, I have nothing to lose by checking it again."
14 March - Back ground check complete.
Found my way out of BG check limbo sooner than I had expected. Hope to the get the CHL in the mail by next week.

Re: March 2011 Applications
Hello everyone. Thought I'd take a moment to join in with the rest of you waiting patiently on your CHLs. Here are my dates:
26 Feb - CHL course (initial)
1 March - Online application
2 March - sent required information and documents via USPS mail
3 March - USPS delivery confirmation shows delivery on 3 March (reason for quick arrival is because I reside in Austin)
7 March - went to center to have fingerprints electronically scanned
14 March - website still indicated that they were waiting on required application documentation
25 March – noticed a change in status to everything green except background check, which is pending. At this point, I was impressed with how fast everything was being processed. Then reality set in...
13 April (today) – I checked the website and it still shows background check pending. Has been stuck at this status for three weeks now. Should have known it wouldn't be that easy
To be continued...
I understand that it is a lengthy process and that DPS probably conducts hundreds of background checks in a day out of the thousands of Texans applying for their CHL, but I find it ironic how one can have a background check conducted on them in several minutes to obtain a fire arm that same day...and yet waiting on the DPS to conduct a background check is a long affair.
May those of us stuck in BG check limo find our way out very soon.
