Got my CHL in the mail Thursday.

Total time from mailing to receipt in my mailbox - 73 days or 10 1/2 weeks.

Concealed Handgun License : Mailed



So from mailed CHL - 100 on 3/17/14 to mailed 5/23/14 = 67 days

Finally!!!

Background Check : Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending



Took them forever to clear my background. Could be due to the fact I moved back home to Texas in 2010. I did have a CWP in Michigan, though.

That is good news! I was hoping that was not what was holding up the updates. Thanks!

JR Texas wrote: I am in the same boat. We actually sent our forms in at the same time (3/17) and my Certified mail stated "delivered" on March 19th. I also took my CHL class in February of 2013. Funny Coincidence. I would expect to see both of our status changes around the same time. Now we wait impatiently...

Ah, good to know I am not the only one! Thanks!

I'm just wondering if my time schedule is within norms. I see some with the same or similar timeline have received updates/license and some have not.

3/4 applied online
3/12 fingerprints
3/17 mailed CHL-100 along with receipt for fingerprints

Status still says waiting documents.

I emailed 4/15 requesting a status update, no response. I emailed again today requesting a status update. I think I'll call next Monday if I don't hear anything. I'd just like to know my package was not lost. No, I did not send with tracking or return receipt.

The only oddity is that I took the class in Feb 2013. Life got in the way, but I did not see anything about an expiration date or a timeline. The state sure took my money fast enough.
