8-26-13 I call the DPS to ask why my status has not changed in almost 2 months. She tells me they are still doing the background check.
9-2-13 status changes to fingerprints complete/background check complete and License Manufacturing.

How long will it be on manufacturing? does anyone know?

My dad went with me and got his back in about a month.

You should have it very soon. My guess is today or Monday. Congrats

17 days! Sweet!

Hi All. Wife got her CHL today!!! 19 days mailbox to mailbox. My CHL was mailed a day after hers.....should be in mailbox Monday....21 days for me mailbox to mailbox!!!! Sooooo glad we beat the September rush.

I checked the CHL site this morning and both mine and my wife's background checks show complete and the licenses are in manufacturing. So from September 3rd when I mailed the paperwork to today is only 16 days, not too shabby.

No kidding on that one.

Online renewal receipt was processed on 7/29/13.

Fingerprints and Background Check still pending.

So much for the decrease in waiting times.

I input my application online yesterday, 10/15/2013

I guess that puts me officially in the "Waiting Room".

Class is Saturday 10/19/2013
Upload Documents same day.
Fingerprints Tuesday 10/22/2013

Then the waiting starts.

DPS is processing applications pretty efficiently right now. Just hang in there and you will get your plastic before you know it.

So I stumbled onto this forum while trying to determine how long I could expect to wait on my Tx CHL. By the looks of the comments maybe I might expect some news in the next couple of weeks.

9/28/13 Completed class with wife
10/2/13 Submitted online applications
10/3/13 Fingerprinted
10/4/13 Submitted all documentation via USPS Priority Mail

The website still shows:
License Status: Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials. Once the application and materials have been received by Concealed Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page

So it's been about two & a half weeks. I've noticed some folks have experienced some remarkable turn arounds. That's great. I suspect maybe since September was the first month of shortened classes maybe they experienced a spike in applications, which is great. More people should carry! We'll keep our fingers crossed that we can get ours finalized in the next 4-6 weeks.
