I will be sure to give a full detailed report of my first wally walk. I actually read about that fine tradition on this forum as well. It's pretty hilarious. I wanted to make a video but not sure if I want to be that easily identifiable as a holder.

Hang in there sir busy knight, it seems like we June applications are speeding right along.

So, it's been about a week since I've seen this on Texas.gov website:

CHL APPLICATION STATUS: If you have a pending CHL application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required.

I never saw the green status list thing and never even got word that the DPS received my application. So naturally, today when I got a letter from the DPS in the mail, along with the slug plug I ordered for my G19, I thought they had denied my application, or needed more information/documentation/whatever.

So i took out a knife and carefully opened the envelope. Inside was a shiny little card that looked like my drivers' license with a few important differences. I'm happy to say that after a short 35 days box to box, THE DPS ACTUALLY PROVIDED A DILIGENT, PROFICIENT SERVICE, probably because they outsourced the work HAHA.!

So, to Wally World it is! Good luck fellow waiters, for me the hardest part of the very short wait was just not knowing if they had even received my application or if it was just sitting in the trash. I appreciate their quick turnaround but a confirmation of receipt would have been reassuring.

Yeah, I don't need them hulk smashing my application...

"make them angry".

Yeah I wasn't sure if that FAST confirmation would help or just .

May the Regulatory Service gods smile upon your brown envelope, Pluto.

I suppose there's no rush. I've been researching IDPA and plan to watch a match next week before I attempt my first classifier. That should keep me distracted in the meantime.

Just kidding guys.

So I am new to the fourm; I've been lurking for sometime, probably since around the time my application hit the mail. Today I decided to join up and say hello.
Anyway, I'm not sure if this is the preferred order of operations but here's how I managed my application process.

Thurs. 26 June 2014 - Online Application Submitted
Fri. 27 June 2014 - Fingerprints Submitted
Sat. 28 June 2014 -Class Completed @ 1:30 P.M.
Sat. 28 June 2014 - Checklist, CHL-100, and FAST fingerprint documentation ( I wasn't sure if the FAST thing was necessary) dropped in the snail mail at 2:00 P.M.

So it's been 22 days since my brown envelope has embarked upon its journey to the kind people in Austin, and still no status change online, no correspondence from DPS.

Is this consistent with the typical experiences you guys have had?

Thanks,
GTH
