That may have been the case. I'm just glad I have it now. Once the BC was complete, manufacturing and mailing went quickly, one day for each. I received in the mail on Aug 28th.

Ok, not really total time, but waiting for that darned background check has been crazy. It was hard watching people receive plastic who mailed their package around the time, or after, I mailed my package and I'm not even out of background check.

Again, clean record (other than a few ticket in my past), very high security clearance (just reinvestigated last year), and previous CHLs in other states and my background check still took a bit longer then a lot of folks on this forum.

Hopefully the plastic will arrive soon.

OH YEH!!!

After 7 weeks of waiting for the background check to complete, the DPS website shows it's complete with manufacturing pending. And that's from the first date the site was updated to reflect my status. I mailed my package on June 20th which is 9 weeks of total wait time.

Hard to say what's the reason for getting it faster or slower. I've had a clearance since 1986 and was investigated and upgraded to a higher clearance in 1988. My reinvestigation was conducted last year without a problem. I have never been arrested and have nothing more than a couple of speeding tickets is all my years. Yet, I've been in the process since June and waiting on my background check since July 3. I've even had concealed permits in other states.

I just don't get it.

Good luck.

Hopefully you wait is shorter than mine. I've seen a few on here mail around the same time as me or after and get their plastic. But I still wait.

I mailed June 20, delivered, June 21, and status updated on July 3.
