March applicants

[indigenousnomad]

Hello all. This is my first post to the forum. I completed the online application, fingerprints and photos in early March, my CHL class on March 9th and had everything in the mail March the 11th. Still no change on the website, but I now have my Texas DL number memorized.

Welcome to the forum.This is the best forum on the internet, you can find any information on just about everything.
Congrats on getting it all completed. I mailed my package on the same day you did 3-11-13 I am still wating on the update to happen
I saw some other posts where people mailed the first week of march and they are now under background review . So it should be this week for us I hope.
Good Luck
Dave

For those on a similar timeline I have an update the my previous post:

2/10 - Application Completed
2/21 - Fingerprinting Completed
3/2 - CHL Course Completed
3/4 - Packet Mailed
4/13 - Application FINALLY showing accepted

41 days from mailing (I live in Austin) to showing up on the website as accepted. All that's left is Background Pending and CHL Manufacturing!

Now I can stop my neurotic behavior of checking the status 10 times a day at least for a few weeks

P.S. my wife has the same timeline and her status changed yesterday too.

I uploaded my renewal documents on 3/14/13, and received an odd email today. Has anyone else received something like this? I replied, but don't expect a reply soon...

From what I see here, the website phrase "Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials" doesn't really mean that USPS has not yet delivered my package mailed on 4 MAR, it just means that DPS hasn't yet opened the package and entered it into the system. Or does it mean that they HAVE opened my package and want more information?

You were right with the first part.

I believe this is DPS' way of insuring that you are person who is patient and longsuffering, not someone who will go off half-cocked (all pun intended) and do something crazy with a firearm.

Welcome to the waiting room.
