The state mailed when they said they did. Still not here.

Haven't checked the mail today, but I'm still waiting as well........................

I believe that they must update the site to mailed before it actually is physically dropped in the mail. I recieved my CHL back in March and I remember that it arrived about 5 or 6 business days after the date they showed as mailed. I would bet that you should be receiving it in the next couple of days. Congratulations!!

I would guess this is likely true. Also, it is the holidays and the mail gets very busy.

Having worked for state agencies for many decades, I can say that "mailed" usually means "sent downstairs to the mail room." I know that makes you feel better...

I guess if you get pulled over while your plastic is in the mail you will just have to explain to the officer that it takes over a week to get mail from Austin. Cause you know you are already in the system and when he checks you are going to come up as CHL holder.

You could always, you know, drive a little more carefully so you don't get pulled over.

Was in the mail today.

Congrats! i've seen a trend though, for every step there seems to be a week in between the updating process and what nots. I'm assuming thebigapp and myself are both going to receive our plastic nearly on the same day.. sometime on Tues/Weds of next week. Would be pretty funny for my to get it on Weds seeing as how I'm going to SA that day.

That's a pretty great Christmas gift! Congrats!

Less than a week during the Christmas mail flood isn't too bad.
