Any of you 2/13ers expecting your cards today?

I'm hoping it only takes two days from Austin to Houston.

Not yet, I've heard they bulk mail on Fri. Hope it mailed the day the site said it did!

Ordered the Dale Fricke archangel aiwb holster yesterday, until that's received I'll have to be doing Mexican carry (empty chamber of course). I'll see how I like their appendix carry holster, but I like how concealable Mexican carry is since I usually just wear t-shirts, unfortunately doing it that way adds an extra step of having to chamber a round in a life or death situation.

Lots of posts referencing postmarks on a Wednesday. Here is one example.

Greetings. I've been following this thread closely as my wife took her class in January.
She received her chl in the mail yesterday (2/14/2013).
It showed 'mailed' since (2/9/2013). The envelope was postmarked (2/11/2013).
37 days from mailbox to mailbox. Pretty good in my opinion.

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.
Should I call to see what the "required materials" are or is this just one of the steps?

The required materials are those listed on the check list emailed to you after you applied online. Your proof of proficiency, finger prints and pictures
