My background check took one week. There was a long weekend in there though. I submitted on 1/6 and received plastic yesterday, 1/24. After the BG, printing was one more day before changing to mailed.

There have been applicants that are in BG pending status for 1 day, others for 1 month. Average is around 1 week. After that it moves fast. Manufacturing Pending 1 day, mailed the next. By looking at the posts it seems like it then takes 3-4 business days before it arrives in your mailbox.

Here's my timeline:
1/12/2014 - paperwork mailed
2/25/2014 - first update online
2/25/2014 - status reads as manufacturing pending
It seems to me I was only in the "background check" stage for a day or less. I checked yesterday and still had the old message saying awaiting retrieval of materials. I also never submitted my paperwork online (submission errors).
Now I wait...

Wow! Congrats! No such luck here. Status update same day as you, but BG still under review. No criminal history excluding 3 or 4 moving violations in my life (a couple were deferred), 3 addresses in the same county over the last 10 years. I don't mind, though. At least I know they have all my paperwork, so I can breathe easy.

CHL Class--------------------------11/23/13
CHL License Application----------12/31/13
Finger printing---------------------01/10/14
Mailed documents (not online)---01/13/14
License updated and in mail------02/24/14
I did email, not call DPS on 2/14/14 to verify they had all materials. I got a response on 2/18/14 that they did indeed have it all but the process was behind. On 2/21/14 I saw my first update and then Monday 2/24/14 it was mailed.
Should have it in my hands withing the next 24 to 48 hours. Next it is off to find a IWB holster for my weapon that is comfortable to wear over long periods of the day.

How often does the CHL website update? Been following the forum for a few months. People who submitted around the same time are getting updates. The wait is killing me

When I receive mine in the mail I'm going straight home and putting my gun on. Then I may decide to go to Walmart and do a little shopping. LOL

The status as of now is waiting for the background check. I did not receive any status updates until yesterday. I submitted my paperwork last month around January 10.
