Hi everyone, also new to the forum. I don't have all the date specifics handy, but I did the online app in March, did fingerprints and everything before the class. Took the class the last weekend in March, mailed everything Monday April 1. I am in the Austin Area so mail time should have been one day, no more than two. Today (May 8th) my status was updated to materials received, background check under review. I suppose this is pretty fast relative to others here. Now the background check variability...seems like anywhere from 5-50 days....but hopefully shouldn't be long now.

Called yesterday, talked to a guy who was very nice. Said I should give it another week or two, said email gets forward to the processing department. I told him I was kinda concerned maybe they didn't all go through online, said I could fax if nothing by end of next week. So yeah going to fax anyway, so much for online cutting a few weeks "rlol"

Good afternoon all, I figured I'd wait until my status changed before I posted my first time so here it is.

3/13/2013 CHL Course Completed
3/25/2013 Online Application Completed (New App)
3/27/2013 Fingerprints Complete
3/28/2013 Mailed Docs to DPS via USPS, Tracking info no signature required. Docs Delivered 3/30
5/8/2013 Status changed to Background Under Review. Didn't check until after 2pm

I thought it would be easy not to check everyday waiting for the status to change. I was wrong.

SigP250, Hopefully we were in the same batch and you see a change today or tomorrow morning. And everyone else's too.

txwildcat,

There is hope. I found this forum after mailing in my packet and got worried after reading that so many here sent theirs with signature and delivery confirmation. I was in such a hurry to get mine in that I didn't do any of that. I just sent it in regular mail. They still got it and didn't take any longer than everybody else. I figure they lose documents from packets they sign for, so why worry. Hang in there you are in the cue.
