I don't really own either one, but there is a good review by one of our members just started here. I think there will some quibbling over the differences by other members, but maybe it will help. http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... 23&t=22771" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Welcome the forum snack. The Estep's are great folks and run a fine class!

Enjoy the information here on the forum while you await your plastic. Hopefully the wait will be short. :thumbs2:

Got my PIN=Good.
Status For A Week Or So-Processing=Good
Letter Sent-Residence History Missing=Bad
Letter Sent-Incomplete Residence History=Worse.

Apparently I didnt overlap the dates. The woman I called today said she can help me, and I can fax back the information so we dont have to wait for the mail time. She was very nice, and I thanked her for all the work thats being done over there. Hopefully I can get status to "Processing" again soon!

Today I login and find this: Application incomplete - missing information - detailed letter has been sent.

I have yet to recieve the detailed letter. I guess I must have missed filling out something. I went through the checklist so I know I have all the right forms. More waiting...

Mailed packet (with prints, pics, etc.): 01-15-09
Processing Application since about 02-14-09

Now just playing the waiting game. What the hell could take so long? I think my application to the bar and for an escrow license took less time than this.
