I submitted my application on Thursday 02/15/18
Completed the class and submited LTC-100 on Saturday 02/17/18
Fingerprinted on Monday 02/19/18
Checked status on Friday 02/23/18
and everything is green with "received" or "completed" status, except "Licence To Carry A Handgun: Print Pending"
I'm not sure how long this last portion takes, but I'm guessing I should receive my LTC within a week or two.
12 calendar days, start to finish, I imagine I'll have plastic in hand within 15 days of submitting my application.
13 days (including 2 weekends) start-to-finish.
Not sure why some take so long, but glad mine went smooooth. I am a life-long Texan; maybe that makes a difference in the background check time, compared to someone who's lived in several states?
