Hi everyone, also new to the forum. I don't have all the date specifics handy, but I did the online app in March, did fingerprints and everything before the class. Took the class the last weekend in March, mailed everything Monday April 1. I am in the Austin Area so mail time should have been one day, no more than two. Today (May 8th) my status was updated to materials received, background check under review. I suppose this is pretty fast relative to others here. Now the background check variability...seems like anywhere from 5-50 days....but hopefully shouldn't be long now.

Called yesterday, talked to a guy who was very nice. Said I should give it another week or two, said email gets forward to the processing department. I told him I was kinda concerned maybe they didn't all go through online, said I could fax if nothing by end of next week. So yeah going to fax anyway, so much for online cutting a few weeks

Good afternoon all, I figured I'd wait until my status changed before I posted my first time so here it is.

3/13/2013 CHL Course Completed
3/25/2013 Online Application Completed (New App)
3/27/2013 Fingerprints Complete
3/28/2013 Mailed Docs to DPS via USPS, Tracking info no signature required. Docs Delivered 3/30
5/8/2013 Status changed to Background Under Review. Didn't check until after 2pm

I thought it would be easy not to check everyday waiting for the status to change. I was wrong.

SigP250, Hopefully we were in the same batch and you see a change today or tomorrow morning. And everyone else's too.

DPS updates their system at 6am only once per day. No reason to check more than once per day.

txwildcat,

There is hope. I found this forum after mailing in my packet and got worried after reading that so many here sent theirs with signature and delivery confirmation. I was in such a hurry to get mine in that I didn't do any of that. I just sent it in regular mail. They still got it and didn't take any longer than everybody else. I figure they lose documents from packets they sign for, so why worry. Hang in there you are in the cue.
