CHL Status Update

#1

Post by jl39775 »

I'm surprised that my wait has been short. Little over a month and I'm on the final step (Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending).

I think staying out of trouble made this process quick. May also helped that the FBI investigated my background when I was getting my clearance when I served in the Air Force.

I think the state of Texas is doing a great job of keeping up with everything considering how many additional applications they are being asked to process. Applied 12/18 and received CHL in mail on 1/31

It's going quick for me. I just checked and now it shows Concealed Handgun License : Mailed
If I get it tomorrow it would have taken less than 40 days for the whole process
