I think you've pretty much got it all right. A friend of mine was about a month or so ahead of me, and he got his in 4 weeks to the day. Must have caught them at just the right time!Ice Life wrote:Hello Texas Team April
It looks like we're all moving along and people are beginning to get cleared on their background checks and going into the "manufacturing pending" and "mailed" phase of the licensing process. On all of my updates on the Texas DPS CHL web site, I have noticed that my updates have all occurred early in the morning between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. Has this been the case for anyone else? I check my status throughout the day; but, all updates have occurred during this time period. Has anyone noticed any updates happening at other times during the day or night? Maybe the DPS only runs the updates once a day in the early morning? What are your thoughts on the update times?
It also seems that our total processing times are fairly good. I've read some of the previous month application threads and Team April's processing times seem to be a little faster and under the sixty day mark. My time from "Received" at DPS to "Manufacturing" has only been 36 total days which works out to 26 working days and this includes having to get re-fingerprinted by L-1 because my fingerprints were unreadable by the FBI. Comments??
