Just thought I'd add my experience with "the process". I submitted my paperwork on 4/12 by priority mail, and it was received on 4/13. Just checked and it looks like everything is complete - final line is "Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing". I'm assuming that means it's gone to printing and should soon be shipping?

Yes, you should see a 'Mailed' in the next day or two, then you're just waiting on the United States Postal Service which means you'll have to wean yourself off of checking the DPS website! Take baby steps... you'll soon shake the habit.

Awesome! Thanks for confirming my hopes! You also realize, of course, that you're asking the impossible. I've already broken out my tent, camp stove and freeze dried goods, and I'm setup at the mailbox. I can hold out here for weeks!!! :)

OK - sorry for the delay - had an unexpected trip out of town. Got back and discovered my CHL waiting for me. Looks like the turnaround was right around a month - mailed initial application on April 12th, and it looks like the license was received was received in the mailbox around 5/12 or 5/13. Seems pretty quick compared to some other wait times I've seen - could it be that it was an application for both a personal CHL AND to attend the CHL Instructor class?
