Im in for feb as well. Lived in Texas for 15 years and never had my DL memorized till now! I guess checking status multiple times per day will do that!

1/22 - Online application done
1/29 - Fingerprints done
2/2 - CHL Class
2/3 - Paperwork sent in via email
2/7 - Automated email received stating they received my forms and would pass on to a specialist for review

Still waiting for an official status update when I login. It says application done, awaiting on all forms.

In between checking CHL status, I login to my Crossbreed Holster account to see if my holster has shipped! Still says not shipped yet............. Ordered on 1/16 but they say to expect 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Hey all!
New to forum.....1st post

I got an itch to check on things and called DPS to check in since website has not updated. Glad I did! They do not have my FAST Fingerprints showing as received. Took them last week. I had to provide my TCN number and date taken and they opened a support ticket to locate them. :confused5

They ask I call in tomorrow to follow up. Great! Another 45 minutes on hold :banghead:

It's been taking approximately 3 weeks to get an update from "waiting for required materials" to "materials received/BG check under review". Anywhere from 5-16 days for "BG review completion". Manufacturing and mailing goes quick (1-3) days. I'm waiting for mine in the mailbox now! Hang in there guys, I know it's rough.

I mailed my documents on the 9th and just got home from finger prints, truck broke down on the way home so not fun. Hopefully this will change the status to documents received soon.
