Woohoo!!!!!

Status as of this morning, Mailed.

Now I can only hope it actually got mailed on Friday and isn't sitting in an outbox waiting to go out on Monday.



Good luck to to the rest of you still waiting. I know it is an excrutiating wait.

my status was showing mailed on Wednesday... as of Friday still was not in the mailbox.... think they're re-enacting the Pony Express...

"Mailed" means it was placed in the "out box". It may be a couple days before the contents of the outbox is in the mailman's hands.

Just checked online today and finally after 44 days I've got the good ole':

License Status: Application packet has been received from the applicant, the application is in progress. Show receipt

Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received
Photo : Received
Proof of Classroom training : Received
Proof of Proficiency training : Received
Fee : Received
Background Check : Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending

Here's my timeline:
1/12/2014 - paperwork mailed
2/25/2014 - first update online
2/25/2014 - status reads as manufacturing pending

It seems to me I was only in the "background check" stage for a day or less. I checked yesterday and still had the old message saying awaiting retrieval of materials. I also never submitted my paperwork online (submission errors).

Now I wait...

Received plastic today after 48 days mailbox to mailbox! Took about 3 days from status update to "mailed" (2/26/14)
And with that I am now out of the waiting room.

New poster here ...

Online Registration: 12/30/13
Fingerprinted: 01/02/14
Class: 01/04/14
Packet Submit On-Line: 01/06/14
Email confirmation of submission: 01/06/14
System updated to date: NONE ... continue to get the "waiting on the receipt of required materials" message

Called today (02/19/14 - now 45 days from packet submission) and on-hold 22 min before getting "assistance" whereby was told I need to wait because it takes 60 days to process and she was unable to tell me if they had all the materials

I know this is the government (but it would be so much more efficient to update the stinking web site instead of hiring a hoard of people that can't give you information!

And if we are to assume State Government is closer to the taxpayer ... I can't wait for Federal healthcare!

2/24 update - I'm seeing a lot of progress from my fellow January "wait group" ... no such luck for me (today marks day 49 since on-line submission of materials). I've requested a status update via the on-line "status Question" option on 2/12 (without ever getting a response!) and again this morning 2/24. My on-line status says they are still "waiting on the receipt of required materials" - so I'm begging them to tell me what the heck they are waiting on!

3/2 update - today is day 56 since upload of all materials ... still showing as "waiting on required materials". I've not sent THREE status questions to them via their ridiculous status web site with NO RESPONSE TO ANY! I decided to call them this morning and was on hold for 63 minutes. The lady (very nice!) confirmed they had everything needed but told me that my CHL100 was not received until 2/26 ... and then told me it could be 90 days from that date before it's processed. Oh baby ... there are process opportunities abounding in this whole endeavor!!!! Of course it was uploaded all together with other materials on 1/6 ... guess I picked the long checkout line again!

I can't believe how many of the January applicants are already getting status updates and even their plastic. I am almost at the 80 day mark and have not gotten my first update yet. doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to their methodology.

[N2rock]

There is no rhyme or reason.

I submitted on 1/2/14... last week after seeing so many people that submitted after me, were receiving already, I called. The woman I spoke to basically told me there was nothing she could do about it, and I just needed to wait and to call back if it hit 90 days .

Then Monday this week, I called again hoping I might get someone helpful. This time I got a very helpful person that told me my online submission was just in a big stack and there was no way to know when it would be gotten to. But since I was at 60 days in, she told me to email the forms to her directly and she would expedite it. And she did- today it has been moved to "Manufacturing Pending" status.

That's awesome! Friday will be 60 days for me, I hope I can call and get that same helpful person at that time!

Good luck with that phone call. I've called twice. I'm on day 96 and still no updates other than an email six weeks ago that said they had all my paperwork .....

[mason427]

Just joined this forum. The Dps website has finally been updated to mailed!!!!!!!! Wanted to give a timeline of events.

1/18/14 Took Chl Class
1/19 Filled out online application

42 days from me mailing to them mailing. Alot better than the 60-90 days I was quoted.

fyi ... I called this morning. I spoke to a nice woman and told her I had, as of today, been waiting 60 days since my upload. She said she was going to transfer me to a CHL Specialist and after another 5 minute hold, I spoke to a gentleman that said they were still processing the "January applications". That led me to believe that we're all in one giant stack somewhere. But he said if I would email him my docs, he would process it today. I'll hold my applause until I see a status change ... but it certainly appears that I'm moving now.

I would stongly suggest you call back and politely inform whoever answers that you've been nearly 100 days and you'd like to speak to someone that can assist you in moving your application forward.
