Does this mean you did not get your license (not approved?) or just tired of hanging out waiting and will get it when you get it, and no more stressing over it?

I'm officially signing my wife OUT of the Waiting Room.
Stats:
Applied online May 25
FAST - L1 - Prints and photos May 28
Mailed supporting CHL100, Photo Holder, etc on June 1 (without tracking)
Estimated DPS receipt June 3
Plastic on July 2.
Less than 30 days from DPS Receipt to Plastic! Amazingly fast, and always, just a bit better than me! LOL (mine was 34 days)

manufacturing to plastic, could be a week, could be 2 1/2 or 3 weeks. there really is no telling.
the best way to think of it, is, without any issues, missing paperwork or other delays, you are about 40 days from DPS receiving your supporting documentation, to plastic

I completely understand and know that holsters from Comp-Tac and Crossbreed can crimp your wallet, but they are well worth the money if you can save up the dough.
They will hold the weapon better, you can draw and replace the weapon with 1 hand, they will hide the weapon better, all positives, except the price, I think you can get a Crossbreed with cowhide for about $65 + shipping and tax, so about $80 total.

Good luck

it is unbearable isn't it? LOL
Give it a couple weeks and you will wonder why you were so anxious and think to yourself, it wasn't so bad, in the grand scheme of things

Congrats, and make sure to give us a full Wally Walk report

llanite, your post prompted me to check on my wifes:

Her status shows "Mailed" today as well.

her states
Applied online- May 25
FAST-L1 fingerprints and photos May 28
Mailed CHL100 and whatever else on June 1
about June 23, status finally showed up on the website
About June 25 showed Manufacturing Pending
June 30 Shows mailed
25 business days from Application to Mailed
22 business days from FAST to mailed
21 business days from mailing documents to Mailed
and probably 18 business days from DPS receipt of CHL100 and other docs to Mailed -

To me, this is all good, basically 1 month! Now lets see if she actually carries her XD9sc

My wifes status has been updated to "Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending "
Her stats
Applied online May 25 or 26
FAST on May 28
Documents mailed (without certification) on June 1
Finally showed online June 23
so in 2 days it showed up online and went to Manufacturing Pending
How long till she gets her license is the question.
If I had to guess, based on other peoples comments and my own experience, another 10 days for the plastic but with a holiday in there, who knows.

Mine won't go very often, as she is always "too busy" also.
But when I told her that I wanted to get a gun in the house as well as my CHL, we agreed it was best that she understood how to use it, and when to use it.
So we took our class together.
You might suggest to her that you and her BOTH take the class again, then talk to the instructor, let him/her know that you already have a CHL and are only there for her moral support, so he does not charge you for it (other than maybe range time).
Do you think then she would do it?

Im officially signing my WIFE in for her application.
While we took our class together, had all of our paperwork done at the same time (before i sent mine in), she just wasn't motivated to get hers turned in.
So finally, I sat her down, got online and made her do the application.
Today she went for her FAST Fingerprints.

No, she has not mailed in the rest of the required documents (CHL 100 or whatever it is and whatever else, but will do that shortly).

Her name (should she ever join this forum) would be something with Jaz in it, (Jazoo, Jazmine, or other's like that)

Congrats, so my guess is Plastic in your hand on Tuesday, as it seems to be 5 days from Austin to anywhere right now LOL
