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..
We never talked about getting moved up ahead to the front of the line, we just wanted to see what our status was and if they had in fact received documentation. What prompted reaching out to the elected officials is that we had tried to contact DPS multiple times and no response was ever received. When they called, they simply said A.) they had received all the required documentation and B.) told us where we were in the queue. No attempt was made to get moved ahead in line. There's nothing unethical or entitled about that. Remember, our elected officials are accountable to us and so we have every right to make requests of them and to make inquiries about the vast bureaucratic machinery that is the state government.
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.
Update #2 - In Manufacturing as of today - 58 Days for a renewal, so I expect to see it in hand later this week.

Congrats. About 2 to 3 times longer than it was taking prior to Sep but you did have Christmas and the rush to get all of the instructors recertified during that time frame.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

That is just weird. My application was received on 11/8/13 and I still do not have an update.
Thank you for using the Regulatory Services Division’s website.
We have received the necessary information for your CHL application. No further action or documents are required on your part at this time. A specialist will review and process your application. If anything further is missing we will contact you by regular mail. The online status of your application will likely update just before the process completes.

Another update today, now it says Concealed Handgun License : Mailed.
If it was mailed today, I should have it by Friday, we'll see.
