You're still well within the 60 days so your paperwork may be on a vacationing employee's desk.

I've done the 10x a day check as well, I learned that it updates at 6a, so if no changes after that no reason to check until the next day.

They must be using the cheapest possible USPS form. First class rarely takes more than two days within Texas. Or maybe they didn't really mail it on the day they said mailed.

Didn't your wife also apply for a CHL? Is hers also on the "mailed" stage?
Mine went "Mailed" 5/31 and postmarked 6/4, guessing it sat in the outgoing mail a little while..

I mailed paperwork for myself and my husband off on 4/26. His updated to "Mailed" on the 28th. Mine updated to "Mailed" today (5/31) :hurry: So we are at 5 weeks. We should have ours by next week if he doesn't get his Saturday. I don't know when they actually drop them in the mail.

And I have purchased 2 guns from a dealer in a week's time. The most recent was the week of mailing my paperwork off.
Just curious if you got your plastic in the mail yet? My status went to Mailed as well on 05/31, have not received in the mail yet.

armanius, you and I are identical with regard to date mailed and background check still pending. We are also identical with regard to "a gun shopping spree since Christmas" (actually, my spree started in -ahem- the second week of November), and, although I think the FBI is prohibited from keeping records on background checks for gun purchases, this delay has made me wonder. :headscratch
From what I've been told, if someone purchases 2 handguns from the same dealer with a week - a form is sent to ATF flagging the purchaser - what happens after that I have no idea..

pretty quick process so far.....hope posting this doesn't jinx it, haha

I'm curious if the recent apps are being processed by the newbies that haven't been "instituionalized" yet and are working their butt off while older apps are sitting in some "lifer's" pile of to-dos..

03/16: CHL training class and proficiency exam.
03/17: Online Applications completed and fee paid.
04/02: Fingerprinting.
04/02: All materials mailed.
04/04: USPS delivery confirmation.
05/11: Status upgraded to reflect receipt of materials; background review pending.

(... and still waiting as of May 28 :roll: )

I would think by now a phone call or email inquiry would be warranted. Especially where it seems to be moving along fairly quickly after the first posted update.
