*pulls up a chair in the back*

Applied online -- 6/4
CHL class -- 6/16
Mailed packet -- 6/28 (delayed due to being sent out of town for work unexpectedly)
"Processing Application" -- 7/11
"Application Completed - license issued or certificate active" -- 8/7
Arrived in mailbox -- 8/10 (44 days mailbox to mailbox)

As with everyone, hoping for a quick turnaround :)


Edited to update timeline.

Good luck.

While waiting is hard for some, getting a letter from DPS that doesn't contain a plastic card can be a shock.

Almost as bad as a letter from a lawyer you never heard of, or the IRS.

Status flipped to..... Application Completed - license issued or certificate active today!!!

41 days from when I mailed it. Not too shabby. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive. Why do I think the next few days are going to be longer than the last 41?

Congratulations

I checked my status today. I was very shocked to read -

"Application Completed - license issued or certificate active"

My timeline:

June 02, 2007 - CHL Course at Lonestar Handgun in San Antonio
June 04, 2007 - Mailed packet to DPS/CHL
June 06, 2007 - DPS officially received packet
July 02, 2007 - Received Pin by Email After Calling DPS/CHL
July 27, 2007 - Found out CHL Instructor goofed up my TR100 Form
July 30, 2007 - CHL instructor sent corrected TR100 to DPS and me
August 02, 2007 - Received new TR100. Drivers License incorrect
August 02, 2007 - Notified CHL instructor again.
August 03, 2007 - Received third TR100 form, this time correct.
August 08, 2007 - Application Completed, License Issued or certificate active.

Days to process = 63. I'm hoping to receive the plastic soon. I figure door to door the process will have taken 67 - 70 days, even with all the problems with my instructor goofing up the TR100 forms. I was prepared to go until August 29th. The DPS/CHL extended me for 60 days on June 29th because the instructor didn't complete the TR100 form right three times.

Time to do the dance.

Thanks! Maybe I'll get the plastic in 3 or 4 days now.

Mine arrived in the mail today. 44 days mailbox to mailbox.



Tonight was date night with the wife, so I didn't get to do the wally walk. Instead we went to the range and shot a few boxes of ammo each :) Then we went to a pretty crowded downtown area where we had dinner in an outdoor cafe.

Amazingly enough, nobody noticed and started a massive panic wave... Felt nice to finally be able to carry it though.
