Mailed, 51 days from submitted on its way! very pleased, online never updated a thing, the first update showed background check completed already and everything but manufacture pending, so I'm relieved, I guess I got the guy/gal that was too busy getting mine out in 50 days then updating online sessions.

- Applied online April 11
- First update on May 29
- CHL in hand on June 6

Nice

4/10/14 went online paid $$ and filled app.
4/12/14 took course CHL-100
4/14/14 finished FAST
4/16/14 mailed out doc. Cert.
Checked while next week and they didn't sign for cert. mail and might not for another week.
4/22/14 re-sent everything with my iPhone pictures of docs.
6/6/14 finally showed an update: app received, everything complete and valid and manufacturing pending.
There's a caution sign next to the Application and the 'manufacturing pending' parts.

So,49 days, that's in line with 6 weeks so I'm ok, but super clean, had to be one of the easy ones, never even seen a jail cell in person or real life

Hi, new to the forum. Completed and mailed everything, sent certified, upon checking I see the mail says last Saturday is scheduled delivery date, and the progress bar is only 3/4 of the way, short of delivered. Before I mailed the three documents, I took fairly decent pictures as proof/back-up. So I spent all day Thursday trying to make the pictures smaller so they could be uploaded, what a pain.

Received my TX Drivers License. April 7th ( lived here 8 years, never needed it!)
Bought a Walther PPQ next day, April 8th
Applied online and paid Close to April 8th
Took CHL cert. class on Saturday April 12th
Went and got FAST prints done. April 15th

Mailed everything out and like stated, supposed to be there on 21st of April, never made it so far.

April 24th managed to upload my back-up copies to the website.
April 25th received an Email stating DPS has indeed received documents pertaining to my CHL application!! WooHoo! It worked! My back-up plan actually saved my butt. Still no word on my actual mailed forms.


I am just stoked to receive that e-mail, especially after reading about some of the delays, just to get that after my missing mailed info, was a big relief. I've never been arrested for anything, other then like no Drivers license ON me when in an accident, so I had to follow the state trooper to jail to sign some waiver or something, pretty minimal, never handcuffed, once but thrown out of court, no lawyer no fees, so I should be OK that route. It did taker like 3 weeks to get an FBI approval to work at schools a few years ago, everyone else got theirs right away, so don't know what hold up was, but I got it.
Good luck to everyone waiting, I know how it feels.
After 1000+ and not a single hiccup with my PPQ, I am finding it harder to want to trade in, when CHL gets here I am buying myself a Kimber Crimson Carry Ultra II, or equivalent. Smaller, bigger punch, superior craftsmanship, they are works of art, but might have to keep this super accurate PPQ ( everyone seems to shoot better groups with it)


B safe, Guts Jagd'. (Good hunt)
