I sent my paperwork in July 5th. My plastic arrived August 9th.
This was for a new CHL permit.
Definitely pleasantly surprised.

filled out online application for renewal on aug 15th. took renewal class on aug 25th. mailed form 100 on aug 27th. checked state site today. shows still waiting on forms.

Submitted online application on 9/14/2012 and still waiting. DPS site shows they received all my paperwork, but are still "reviewing" I'm getting so impatient.

Mailed renewal on Sept. 17, and received plastic Oct. 25th. Very happy!

holy crap that's a long time... do you check it everyday? I have a hunch that the less you log on and check on it, the faster that the process will be... but that's just my hypothesis.

Took CHL class on September 9th / sent paperwork on September 10th / October 8th application being processed pending background review / October 30th background review complete - pending manufacturing / October 31st sent to mailroom / November 1st mailed / November 13th received plastic.

Overall, seemed like a long time but am glad the process is complete.

That's not encouraging. That means I may still have 2 weeks for mine to make it to my mailbox. That would mean they're running close to 8 weeks on renewals. Although I'm not sure new or renewal are processed any different.

42 days from mailbox to mailbox!

I saw the stamp on the letter and they actually didnt even mail it until the 29th... So whoever said that after it says 'mailed' it actually sits in a pile for another week, they were right!

At any rate. FINALLY GOT MY PLASTIC!
