Sent my renewal by mail the 26 of Nov. I emailed them the 7th of Jan. to see if they had gotten paperwork, got the standard email today that it would be 8 wks from the time your last documents were sumitted. So we wait, I still have 90 day hope that is enough.

My wife applied online for her first TX CHL on 11/1/2013 and emailed documents on 11/4/2013.. The website STILL shows "application in progress....." with no status updates.

However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel for us all. We decided to inquire with our state senator and representative about what the hold up was (thinking that might light a fire under someone's butt). Today, one day later, she received two phone calls from DPS telling her that she is at the end of the background check and that it should only be a few more days before it can finish processing and be sent off for printing. However, she also received an email today from someone over at DPS stating that her application has not yet begun the process and that the average timeframe for confirming receipt of emailed or mailed materials is 10-12 weeks.

So what we learned is that contacting your elected leaders may not speed up the process any, but it will get a response. I'm thinking sometime late next week or maybe early the following week is when we will expect to have the license mailed, if not already received.

I guess we should all call our senators and reps up and see if we can get moved ahead of those of us from prior months that are still waiting. I am in complete agreement that the process is taking too long, just burns me that someone would call their senator and portray getting special treatment..

Wow, I'm speechless. Entitled much?

Quick update, my status did change over last couple of days to "background check and final printing pending". I hope this is not the next "long wait" or "false update" and that they are actually catching up.

My background check has been under review for two days now! Ugh.

My wife sent in all the required docs on Nov 3 and is still waiting. I got mine last May after only a 40 day wait time. I think the current wait may relate to the earlier fed govt shutdown which may have backlogged background checks. Then there was the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and a lot of state workers probably took additional vacation time.

Just to give you November guys and gals some encouragement, I received confirmation that my documents were received on Oct. 31 and got my first update this morning at 73 days. So it seems they are finishing up Oct.

I hope us November applicants will be seeing some progress in the next week or 2.

Good news!! Mine was submitted in the second week of November... does that mean I am two weeks away?
