I also like to point out I told the DPS customer service rep that Ive seen others on this forum who mailed their packets 2-3 weeks after me were getting updates while I was still not in the system. They said, "don't believe everything you read on that forum, Ive been reading posts on TxCHL For...

Mailman was kind today! CHL in hand! Woot-woot! Even took a stroll this evening through Wally Land with 13 defensive rounds in my Springfield at my side. Cool! Hang in there folks. It does finally come. 65 days from mailbox "out" to mailbox "in". :chldancing :chldancing

day 42 and no word yet :banghead: :totap: Im on day 47 and have yet to be entered into the system, DPS received my app and packet Feb 28th. Nightmare69 (BTW...did you have a bad "intimacy" experience???), I just have to ask...are you sure you're logging in right to TXDPS website? DL corre...

Last check of TXDPS website just completed because.... Da-da-da-Dah!... Plastic is "Mailed"!!! :chldancing Now, substitute website check with the daily mail watch. Why is this so much like Christmas? Jeez, no kidding, I feel like I did 36 years ago as a 10 year old looking through the Dais...

Updated this morning from 'Manufacture Pending' to 'Manufacturing'...

Home stretch, Baby! One last corner to the checkered flag...

Hate to tell you this, but that is how it worked for all of us. After submitting an application, the first update is that all materials are received and the background check has begun. Until that time, the website just says your application is received, but further processing is waiting on required ...

Yes!!!
Out of background check finally!
Check took 23 days.
Almost there!

30-34 days is totally wrong as an average. there may be a very small % getting them in that time frame but not the average. Plus, there's a big snowball effect going on now & they are getting higher volumes of apps everyday. it takes 34 days just to get new apps entered from the date the docume...

So, just to clarify, by "turnaround time" do they mean the time to go from receiving the full packet (all materials) until they mail out the license, or is that the time only up until they give the green light to manufacture/mail it out out? Small difference maybe, but you know how we're ...

DPS' current average turnaround time is 30-34 days. I was on a conference call with DPS yesterday and this was one of the items covered. Also, the statutory 60 days begins when they receive a full application packet, not when it's entered into the system. Chas. Thanks Chas, great insight. There are...

You guys have it made. The DPS is handling 2-3 times the applications they were a few years ago and still getting them out in 30-60 days for most. Granted there are a few that take longer, but even those are coming quicker than years past. It wasn't that long ago that the wait time was 90+ days. So...

I am now "Manufacturing pending" as of 7AM March 26 Mailed regular mail: Feb 12 Recieved/background pending: March 9 :waiting: BACKGROUND CHECK COMPLETED: March 26 :hurry: I mailed mine from Dallas the same day as you (Feb 12), but went to 'background check' 5 days later. Hoping thats a g...

Man, you are lucky. :cheers2: Most of us had to wait 30 days just to show background check was started. From what I see on this forum, background checks are taking anywhere from 3 days to 6 weeks. So, it's kind of a crap shoot I guess. Mine's been in background check for just over a week. I'm just p...

Finally! Proof that my packet made it to TXDPS and isn't rolling around stuck to the right rear tire of a USPS truck! Packet received and background check begun this morning! Nice to see some movement after 30 days of waiting. Hope it's not another 30 from here. I'm wearing the glass out on my iPad ...

Getting a bit frustrating now. I mailed my packet over a month ago and still no update that they've even received it yet. Sent TXDPS an email late last week and got a quick response (be it a form letter response) stating that I should expect nothing until 4 weeks. But I see so many of you who got yo...
