GC §411.177. ISSUANCE OR DENIAL OF LICENSE. (a) The department shall issue a license to carry a concealed handgun to an applicant if the applicant meets all the eligibility requirements and submits all the application materials. The department may issue a license to carry handguns only of the categories for which the applicant has demonstrated proficiency in the form and manner required by the department. The department shall administer the licensing procedures in good faith so that any applicant who meets all the eligibility requirements and submits all the application materials shall receive a license. The department may not deny an application on the basis of a capricious or arbitrary decision by the department.
(b) The department shall, not later than the 60th day after the date of the receipt by the director's designee of the completed application materials:
(1) issue the license;

(2) notify the applicant in writing that the application was denied:
(A) on the grounds that the applicant failed to qualify under the criteria listed in Section 411.172;
(B) based on the affidavit of the director's designee submitted to the department under Section 411.176(c); or
(C) based on the affidavit of the qualified handgun instructor submitted to the department under Section 411.188(k); or
(3) notify the applicant in writing that the department is unable to make a determination regarding the issuance or denial of a license to the applicant within the 60-day period prescribed by this subsection and include in that notification an explanation of the reason for the inability and an estimation of the amount of time the department will need to make the determination.
(c) Failure of the department to issue or deny a license for a period of more than 30 days after the department is required to act under Subsection (b) constitutes denial.
(d) A license issued under this subchapter is effective from the date of issuance.
So has anyone gone the 60 days and not gotten notification of some sort????

Looks Like I still got a long wait... I am only at day 24 of waiting :waiting: :totap:

Been 25 days so far, no change in the online status, from what I'm hearing it takes a while to get that change in status but after that things go smoothly. Hopefully at least by May.

Woke up to a nice unexpected update today (3/25):
• Application : Received
• Fingerprints : Complete
• Affidavits : Received
• DL or ID : Valid
• Citizenship : No documentation required
• Passport photo holder : Received
• Photo : Received
• Proof of Classroom training : Received
• Proof of Proficiency training : Received
• Fee : Received
• Background Check : Completed
• Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending

That puts me at about 41 days from the original online submission of my packet and 35 days from when I had to re-submit the docs (forgot to attach them the first time).

What a relief! I've been checking about 20 times a day for the last couple of weeks. Now, I can still do that but the screen looks different!

29 days to change on line

Status changed this morning some time between 7a and 8a. I checked at 530a when I woke up and again about 630a when I got to office and nothing. So it can change in the morning and not always overnight

That's the shortest I've seen. Lucky you. I submitted on the 17th of February and nothing yet. Hopefully soon.

Yes it was pretty quick.

But my wife submitted hers on the same day and there hasn't been any change to hers.

I found this forum when I went looking for info on CHL wait times. Although joining and posting in forums isn't my thing, I wanted to give my timeline for getting my CHL. Thanks to everyone who has posted their wait times - they were very helpful and appreciated!

10/05/13 CHL Class
01/26/14 Online Application
02/07/14 Fingerprinted & mailed paperwork
02/08/14 Confirmation of delivery
03/21/14 Website updated; background check pending
03/22/14 License manufacturing
03/25/14 Mailed

Now the wait to receive the plastic. I'll holler when it finally shows up in the mailbox. I'm amused that I'll get mine before my husbands' - he hasn't even started the paperwork yet (we took the CHL class together).

Edited: corrected class date
