Ok, so DPS told me it would be 2 weeks before an update. If you check my previous post that was probably about a week ago. so we are currently looking at a wait time to reflect status of about 18 business days.

At about 10:30 PM the Wally walk was completed. Very interesting feeling. It seemed like I was so much more aware of everything, gun included.

Mailed mine on Feb 25. Website still not updated. I called them last week and they said they were running way behind -expect another couple weeks before thay can process.

And the clock ticking gets louder each day. :confused5

This sounds like my experience so far, mine was just 14 days later. I posted most of this on another thread, but:

2.27 - Class / ink fingerprints
2.28 - Mailed packet standard usps
3.02 - Packet received
3.17 - called DPS, confirmed packet receipt on 3.02
3.21 - website still says "waiting on receipt", still no letter from the state.


I am in the same position.
2.27 - Class / ink fingerprints
2.28 - Mailed packet overnight
3.01 - Packet received
3.22- website still says "waiting on receipt", still no letter from the state.


It would be nice for it to just show up in the mailbox in the next 10 days or so :hurry:
3.01 -PACKET RECIEVED
3.25 - processing! Waiting on BG check & FP.
4.05 - FP approved. Waiting on BG check.
4.20 - Manufacturing
4.22 - Mailed
4.28 - PLASTIC IN HAND

My EDC choices:
Glock 26
Kel Tec PF9

3/9/2010 - Online application
2/15/2011 - L1 fingerprints
2/19/2011 - Took CHL class (249/100%)
2/21/2011 - Mailed to DPS
3/10/2011 - Status updated
3/21/2011 - Called and was told my application was given to a technician, due to something on my background check.

There shouldn't be anything bad on my record that is less than 14 years old.
Not knowing only piques my curiosity even more.

Well still waiting
Online App 1/28
Class 1/29
Mailed 1/30
Received by DPS 2/2
online status 2/25
Fingerprints unknown
Background check... still under review...
I have no idea why I am only 21 and I have nothing on my record. I have lived in a few different places (all in Texas) over the past few years, and I have a few college loans but I'm still in school so I am not worried about them. For the life of me I don't know what the hold up is. And when I call I get the standard response, you are within the normal time frame... not when you read some of these posts.

3/23/2011 - Wife's status changed to pending manufacture. Rrrrrrrrrr

Class, app, fingerprints, and mailed all at the same time. Darn my slightly peppered past.
