My application is getting processed faster than I expected

#1

Post by H6RBW »

[knock on wood]

I mailed in my application materials on June 8.

Initially, I took it as a bad sign that it took more than a week (June 16) for DPS's website to note that they'd even received the application. Figured I'd certainly be in for a good long wait while they processed it.

But a check this morning, June 23, shows "Background Check: Completed, Concealed Handgun License: Manufacturing Pending."

Not bad, it looks like it's taking around a month these days.

I was "Manufacturing Pending" for one day. "Manufacturing" for 5, and, as of this morning, the website says "Mailed."

Congrats on getting your CHL - the process has been moving along nicely. Last I spoke with someone there they said that they are getting the paperwork sorted within 48 hours of receiving.

wow you guys are lucky, they received mine on 6-2 but still getting under review. Each time i called they give me 60 day processing on my app. I have been arrested before so maybe that's why.

Background under review since 6/1. Multiple calls and all they say is something must have turned up on bg check and technician is making sure it's not a "disqualifying event.". I have asked them each time (3) to be exact if there is anything I can provide to assist them... And reply is not at this time. Wonder if the real criminals out there worry about not having a CHL license?

My BG just completed after nearly 60 days. I don't have so much as a traffic ticket. I suspect it depends on the person behind the desk your file landed on.

That is so bizarre...about 1/3 of the time it took when I got mine. That means you have to do three Wally Walks to make up for it.

Please post the pics.
