Here is another update


My progress and timeline
12/1/12- Took course
12/1/12 -Online application-
12/6//12- Fingerprinting
12/11/12- Repeated Fingerprinting- they didn't like the quality of the first one I guess

Waited........
On Line check...................... nothing until 1/5/13 Someone said it changes on a Saturday!
Site shows
Application received
Fingerprints completed
Affidavits received
DL or ID valid
Citizenship-No doc required
Passport photoholder received
Photo received
Proof of classroom training received
Proof of proficiency training received
Fee received


Checked the site 1/12/13 and it was down. Checked 1/13/13 and
Background check -completed
Concealed handgun License-Manufacturing pending

Checked 1/15/13
Concealed handgun License-Manufacturing

Checked 1/16/13
Concealed handgun License-Mailed

Also of interest is that yesterday I received a letter saying that my fingerprints needed to be repeated ( like I did that in the beginning) so I guess that I believe the website when it says "mailed" more than I believe the letter that I just received. Will see how long it takes from mailed to permit in hand. Also emailed DPS about refingerprinting letter and waiting for a response. They probably have been snowed with applications.
Will post when I receive permit.
Total time from online application to mailed was 7 weeks, one day.

1 day in mfg

An observation for all that are still watching for updates after mailing docs or while background check is under review: based on my experience so far it looks like they update those two categories in batch mode once weekly on the weekend. And then once background check is finished they update nightly real time.

So I guess Texas sent me a letter about a previous arrest that i never got and they told me they sent it awhile ago. So I got the joy of leaving a voicemail. So instead of waiting for someone to call me back in about two weeks. I fiqured I would ask here if anyone else got a letter something like this. They told me on the phone that what they need was more info on a previous arrest. Had dismissed charges. So what i am trying to figure out does anyone think they just want the court documentation like the court proceedings? So I can just send that in to them without waiting for someone who might not even call me back. Thank you all for your time

They want certified judgment documents and all charging instruments, you have to get them from the county or city clerk where the arrest occurred. Make sure they are certified, I unfortunately have a lenghty background from my rebellious teenage days so I will be going through the same thing. I sent all my certified docs with my packet when I first mailed it,still haven't even gotten the update yet that they have received my stuff so I'm not so patiently waiting to see what they say. Good luck!

Thank you for all your help. I ended up getting a call back from Texas way earlier then I thought I was. So Documents have been sent to me by mail so now just get to wait until those show up at my door then. I got lucky and I get to fax the docs right to my worker and she said as long as everything is staright with the docs I should see my license in two weeks from the day she gets them. So fingers crossed on that one. Cant Wait.

DPS site shows CHL is mailed, so that puts it right at 30 days between packet sent to mailed to me. Keep the faith fellas.

Wow that was quick in comparison to most others including me.
Maybe they are trying to get caught up with all of the existing and expected new applications coming in.
