The last two items have the same yellow triangle with exclamation mark, which I can understand are not complete yet. Does the triangle by the application on top just mean that the whole application is not complete yet? Thanks in advance!
Anyone??
Don't worry about it. It stays like that all the way until mailed. Why? I don't know.
LOL, thank you! I wanted to be sure just in case I missed something. DPS is difficult to deal with and it is so time consuming reaching them by phone. Truly, I prefer not to contact them unless necessary. They acted somewhat annoyed or as if they are being inconvenienced the one and only time I have called. I never knew that getting my chl in a "shall issue" State could be so...mysterious, lol! It almost appears as if DPS practices some kind of pseudo-intellectual "may issue" type of procedures to issue a chl, instead of a true "shall issue" practice..

Day 50 here, but I am cool as a cucumber! At least I got one update. I figured 60 days minimum from the start because of all the mess I heard about the process from friends and read on this forum, so I am truly not disappointed. After 60 days I will start calling requesting some kind of accountability though..

Just an update of my personal experience thus far, for those wondering about timeline.
9/22 took the class
9/23 submitted application
9/26 fingerprints
9/27 submitted packet
9/30 re-submitted packet (because I messed up the attachments on the 1st try, like an idiot)
11/9 finally a status update, to "manufacturing pending" (40 days from re-submission)
11/10 status changed to "manufacturing"

Hopefully it ships this week! :txflag:

Well, actually, I went to my last post and it went to mail on Monday! November 4. So I'm sure it sat in a Ben all day Monday, waiting on someone else to pick it up, put postage on it, and then it was left til Tuesday for the mail man to pick it up on Tues morning. They don't get in any hurry down there!

Mine STILL has the exclamation point in the triangle and I received my CHL weeks ago. It always stays like that.

Same here...even with the "mailed" note, still has an exclamation point next to received. Everything else is green with a check mark.
