mine was “mailed” (allegedly) as well on friday the 15th of Oct
nothing yet and its been 6 days
i know how long it takes to receive mail form austin so im starting to wonder if it will ever show up
every time its not in the mailbox my impatience increases
ive been wearing my empty crossbreed supertuck around for almost two weeks now -
at least i know it will be broken in by the time my license arrives (but hopefully not worn out)
:totap: :headscratch :grumble :confused5

I GOT IT. Finally came in the mail. I am now an official CHL holder. And the picture isn't all that bad either. Lol. Now the rest of the learning can begin and continue. Also, the waiting has helped out because it gave me time to let the wife read and get some info on her own and now is adjusted to the idea of me carrying. Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know it was finally here.

Hi all! :txflag:

I guess ill Start mine...

Oct 15 - Application filled out, paid, submitted online.
Oct 16 - CHL class taken.
Oct 18 - Document Mailed to DPS.

Its currently Oct 25, an entire week after mailing to DPS, and they still haven't said whether or not its been recieved...
License Status: Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials. Once the application and materials have been received by Concealed Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page.

It seems as tho the majority of people had their statuses change a lot sooner than this (say 2-3 days).
I guess should i just relax and wait a bit....
Oct 16-CHL class taken
Oct 18-Documents Mailed
Oct 23-DPS recived
Nov 2-Online status available (Everything pending)
Nov 11-Fingerprints & photos accepted
Nov 12-23-Painful wait for Background to clear.
Nov 24-PLASTIC IN HAND!
Nov 25-Website still states "Background Processing"

Not really. It just feels that way when you're the one waiting. ;-)

When I mailed mine in the end of May, it took 3 weeks after the post office said they got it before it showed up on line. I still had plastic in hand 40 days after they got the package.
