It seems to take about 3 weeks once you first see "Background check in progress".
Once your background check has been completed it goes pretty quick after that.
Good luck and hang in there...it's worth the wait!

It is sure frustrating when you start seeing people who mailed later than you getting plastic already. I mailed on 1/17, BG under review 2/6, still pending... 3 weeks +. Had one misdemeanor incident 34 years ago... Certified letter from the court clerk stating all charges were dismissed was enclosed along with a certified copy of state records showing they have nothing on me.
Guess I'm just stuck waiting... :grumble

I was wondering if I should be concerned.

I mailed all the info out plus completed my application online feb 12th and tracking shows delivered on Feb 14th.

Right now my info says

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.

It has been taking right around 3 weeks for DPS to update the status on the web page. Don't sweat it yet, yours should be changing soon to Background Check Under Review.

Yes. I hear the government sequestration cuts caught up with DPS in Austin... They had to furlough all of their Laminators! :rolll
