Got an update when I logged in my status reads : License Status: Application packet has been received from the applicant, the application is in progress. Show receipt

Application : Received

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 : Under review
Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review

But my application, fingerprints, background check are highlighted in yellow with exclamation points. What does that mean?

If the trend of diminishing wait time continues, you should see an update on Monday.

I had everything done and turned in online the first week of December and have had zero updates. I called the 512-424-7293 number this morning and was told they are working on the middle of December and my paper work is probably in that group, so check back in a couple of weeks.
10 weeks and counting.

Hello, First post but I wanted to share my wait time. My paperwork was received on 12/30/13 via FedEx. Over the last couple weeks I have been checking for updates and then today I looked and everything was complete and Concealed Handgun License mailed. So pretty much no updates until it was complete. I hope this info helps some of you that are still waiting. Thanks

Has anyone done a survey of mailed-in vs. online submission to compare from-start-to-plastic wait times?
