Re: March applicants
This is my first post:
2/9/13 CHL class (1st time taking class)
3/4/13 Fingerprinted (there was more than 2 week wait for next available date fingerprint date after class)
3/6/13 Mailed all paperwork to DPS
Online "site will be updated when required paperwok has been received and processing has begun" until...
4/29/13 website finally updated. "Application received, background check in progress"
5/15/13 "background check completed, manufacturing licence" (15 days after initial update)
5/16/13 "licence mailed"
71 days from date I mailed paperwork until website said "licence mailed". Should be here in a few days.
Of note, before initial update on 4/29/13 I was actually able to talk to someone at DPS. Really friendly lady, said there was a record 17,000 applicants for Texas CHL's. She said to allow a minimum 60 days for site to be updated. Coincidentally my info on the site was updated within days of talking to her. Also sent e-mail requesting info on how much longer background check would be. site was updated 2 days later stating BG check completed.
