and now the game begins in earnest. I have to give props to Aaron at SG&A for making 10 hrs as painless as humanly possible. And yes, it's 2136 on Saturday night and I am already on the edge of the seat. LOL. I have about four weeks till my Hidden Hybrid shows up so I should be ok until it does. Maybe

How long did it take them to update your status on website from the date they received your package mailed by certified mail?

I mailed my package on Nov, 2 by certified mail. Got the receipt back indicating it was in their mail room on Nov, 5th, but they still have not updated the website from the message that they are waiting on all the required documents.

I thought about calling and asking why the website has not been updated to show they have received the package.

Thanks

It just takes a while for them to upload it. They are packed with plenty of applications from people all over Texas. I'm sure they've received it. I didn't see my "green check marks" until 2-3 weeks after I sent my documents. It'll update itself eventually. No worries, just be patient!
(easier said than done, I know)

Actually, I just checked it and it was updated.
Background Check : Under review
Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review

Thanks

Here it is nearly a month later and still in backrgound review.

Holster here and I am almost sure I heard it snicker at me.

Is my holster mocking me????

you can figure 30 days MINIMUM for BG check to go through. Yes I know some people get theirs done faster, but typically its 30-60 days. I speak from experience!! One thing that helps is to avoid this forum (at least the waiting room since others will most definitely get their plastic before you). Also, read the living crap out of others experience, and laws that pertain to the CHL holder. Above all, stay safe!

I figured as much thanks. I have been reading up on the other forums. mainly LEO Contact and carrying experiences.

damn jayinsat, I mailed my forms the same day as you but am just now in "manufacturing". This further proves my previous post of DO NOT CHECK THIS SITE while you wait, it will cause undue amounts of anxiety and stress!!!
I have been "manufacturing" for almost 4 days now, pretty long compared to most peoples sig lines that tell the timeline they endured. Oh well I hope it gets "mailed" by tomorrow!!!

That's odd that your status is stuck on manufacturing. Normally it goes to mailed on the next business day. Try refreshing your browser or clearing the cache/cookies.

it is odd but I have seen a handful of people that it took 2-4 days to go to "mailed" typically over a weekend. Here's to hoping it changes tomorrow!!!

46 Days in background review and counting. Checked again tonight so no news here. Maybe for my birthday at the end of January.

Grrr....
