Mine has been in "manufacturing" for 4 days now! I sure hope that the govenment Sequestration has not affected the Austin Local of the ULU (United Laminators Union)! We may never get plastric.

Mine moved to manufacturing today also. Looks like it should be mailed in the next few days. I've read it is taking up to 5 business days once status changes to mailed until received. So, it looks like we will be getting plastic next week. Problem is, I have to go out of town next week on business.

Oh well, been waiting this long, what's another week.

DPS must have done their "mass update" in the system this morning. At 2:00 AM (couldn't sleep, so why not check status AGAIN) I was still BG Under Review. At 10:00 AM, I am Manufacturing Pending, like the two posters previous in this thread.

You guys are really making me jealous. I have been in BG review since 2/6. Over three weeks. Only one minor offense 34 years ago. Certified copy of dismissal included plus a certified copy of NO records in the two states I have lived in.

Same here!!! I'm hoping it got in the mail on Saturday and the system just updated on Sunday. If that's the case, it's possible we might have plastic-in-hand by Tuesday or Wednesday!!!



However, I'm not sure what to do with myself now since checking the DPS website won't yield any new information!!! :)

How about strap on your EDC and go for a walk! I'll still be stuck here on my computer checking DPS every two hours.

Hopefully it will be mailed tomorrow! My stepbrother took his class a few weeks before me and he still hasn't finished up his application nor has he gone to get finger printed....

Congrats! We mailed on the same day 1/17, but I did not go to BG review until 2/6, five days later than you. Hopefully my timeline will not drop further back. I hope to be in manufacturing next week.

There is no update to my timeline. Just application recieved.

The Texas DPS will teach you patients! Seriously, they are doing a pretty good job considering the flood of applications they have been getting since Obama declaired war on us.
Do not expect to see a change in your online status until 3 weeks after you mailed the packet. That's been the norm lately.

liberty2014 wrote:Anybody know what application under review means? Has a yellow yield sign next to it

I had the same question. I was told it's normal. Just means they are reviewing your information. Don't worry.

Really wrote:New to the site and I appreciate all the info.

Wife and I took our class 1/5, Fingerprinted 1/7, mailed 1/9, status changed to pending on 2/5 our reviewer must have been on maturnity leave or something

Looks like we are right there together. I mailed 1-17, background under review 2-6. So the race is on...

Current status shows still waiting on documents.

I know everyone says be patient and don't check the status site every day, but I do anyway.

Status changed to background check pending! Finally making progress...

I'm hopefully right there with you all. Docs mailed 1-17. Status still shows waiting though
