Fingerprint - COMPLETED
Background check COMPLETED

Pending manufacture....



I am wondering if my phone call to DPS prompted the update? I'm not knocking it.

I will also update my timeline in this thread.

By the way, let us know when you get the update to "Mailed!"

Although I have a totally clean record, the political climate promoted by the current ... errr, ummm ... shall we say, "Federal Administrative Branch" had me concerned that my recent history of (gasp) "purchasing several firearms" since November might have thrown up red flags on my CHL application, even though this is Texas and the CHL process should have nothing to do with the Feds. But that's the kind of paranoia (or at least "concern") being fostered by actions and rhetoric in Washington, D.C., and I'm pretty sure it made me much more nervous during the wait.

Didn't your wife also apply for a CHL? Is hers also on the "mailed" stage?

Yes. Her application has progressed and updated identically to mine, including the "Mailed" date.
We're hoping the pattern holds and both CHL's arrive in the mail the same day. If not, one of us will be disappointed.

Background check COMPLETED!!!

OUTSTANDING, armanius!!! That is great news!!! Won't be long now!

No, I still haven't received mine yet; status updated to Background Check Complete on June 6, updated to CHL Mailed on June 7, so maybe today (June 12)--we'll be stalking the mail truck again today! I've been noticing that different posters have indicated the time between update to "Mailed" and actual receipt of the CHL in the mail has varied from as little as 2 days to as many as 14 days, so I'm trying to be patient (again!).
