To shed a little more light (though each application will probably have a unique experience)

I completed my application online
Fingerprints were done through L1
Both of those were completed before I sent off my packet with the rest of my stuff (photos, supporting documents, etc) on the 8th.

Im near Cleburne and I did not use confirmation but id reckon a guess that it got to Austin on the 11th or 12th.


As for my carry situation, I think I might pop on over to CTD in Fort Worth and pick up a Ace IWB. Right now its jacket weather so I think it will suffice.

Well the wife got home and danced around saying "Ive got something youll like!" then started digging around in her purse. I figured she had some candy or something.

NOPE! Out came an envelope and I knew who it was from? Before I did the happy dance I "tested" the card for plastic, I wanted to make sure that it wasnt a letter requesting more info. I felt a reassuring stiffness and then proceeded to tear the envelope open like a kid opening presents on Christmas morning.

And so therefore ladies and gentlemen, I have finally received my plastic! A quick check on the CHL website says that its still "waiting for bla bla bla"

11/8 packet mailed
11/29 plastic received (wife found it in the mail yesterday evening)

21 days and no updates. So those waiting with no update....take heart! It will come!

Now my next hurdle is how to carry from now till Christmas. Y'see, my wonderful wife bought me a Kholster as one of my gifts, and she is refusing to budge and let me have it early.

Carry on

Hmm, well thats reassuring about the lack of updates. I mailed mine off on the 8th so Austin probably got it no later than the 12th. Although even if it gets here before Christmas ive got nothing to carry in (wife bought me a Kholster).

Yes, we were given our scores but keep in mind that there were only 4 other guys in my class and all of us (including instructor) were TXSG members who knew eachother.

Well Saturday I took the class/tests. Scored 98% on written and 242 practical.
That got me the last remaining pieces so my packet could go out this morning.
