Congrats guys! Now get out there and do a properly documented Wally Walk...or send the plastic back in while chanting, "I am unworthy, I am unworthy".

And now it's in hand -- postmarked the 26th, in hand on the 28th.

One really odd thing: On the 26th I got a form letter from DPS saying that they hadn't gotten my fingerprints. I called on the 27th, and explained the letter and that the website 'status' said all was well with my application. The guy on the other end laughed and said not to worry, every so often 'the system' burps out a letter like that for no apparent reason anybody can figure out. I laughed right along with him, because I figured that was the case, but you can never be too sure . . ..

So now I'll be off for my first foray with a new item of apparel.

So here's my final chrono:
Online Application (9/1/11)
Class Completed (10/1/11)
Packet Mailed (10/2/11)
Fingerprints Taken (10/6/11)
Fingerprints: Complete (10/12/11)
Background Completed (10/18/11)
Manufacturing Pending (10/19/11)
Manufacturing (10/20/11)
Mailed (10/26/11)
PLASTIC (10/28/11)

So 22 days from my last required action.

Good luck to all who follow.

I thought I would remember my DL# forever after typing it in 10 times a day for two months, but no, I had to take it out and look at it yesterday. I guess my little pea-brain only retains what it absolutely needs to at any given time.

Well I got my first update, only to find that my Proficiency Training was listed as "Not Recieved" because the instructor did not fully complete the form. See my post under the General Texas CHL Discussion for the details.

Here is my current timeline:

October 8, 2011 - Took CHL class.
October 10, 2011 - Applied online, scheduled fingerprinting.
October 17, 2011 - Completed fingerprinting at 10:20 am.
October 17, 2011 - Mailed packet, with Delivery Confirmation, at 12:26 pm.

And the waiting begins...

October 19, 2011 - Packet successfully delivered (Delivery Confirmation via USPS.com)

First update on the TX DPS site today. I had checked around 5:30 am and it showed to still be awaiting my materials. On a whim, just checked again (~ 8:30 am) and got my first update. So now, I am awaiting my background check to be completed. YIPPEEE!

October 27, 2011 - Application 'Received' by DPS

Another update this morning. Happened sometime between 5:00 - 6:45 am. I am getting closer!

November 4, 2011 - Background Check Completed
November 4, 2011 - Manufacturing Pending

[Dragonfighter]

Renewed online, sent affidavit/checklist on Monday. Today shows all in place with fingerprints and background check pending. Oh yeah, no renewal necessary.

Got it today. Oct 10 to Nov 4, 25 days. No trip to the range, no trip to FAST. $70 and five years. I noticed it looks a lot like the new DL's...I see a lot more surprised tellers and clerks in the future.

We must be in the same batch, mine changed status today also... Hopefully it won't take much longer for the plastic to be manufactured and mailed.

Lucky guys!!! Mine has been "under review" since 10/26. Not to mention that my friend that mailed hers 5 days after I mailed mine said yesterday that hers was "mailed"!! Her bg check and manufacturing took two days!!!
