Hey all, new here to the forum and here's my timeline:
1/4/2013 - Completed/submitted online app
1/26/2013 - Completed fingerprints
1/27/2013 - Completed CHL Class
1/28/2013 - Mailed CHL packet certified mail
1/31/2013 - DPS signed for CHL packet
1/28 to 2/18/2013 - DPS status shows they are waiting for application packet
2/19/2013 - DPS status changed to Application received and Background Check: Under Review
The status hasn't changed since the 19th. Also, I've never done this before so I'm not sure if this is normal but everything on the status page is green with a check mark except the "Application: Received", "Background Check: Under Review" and "Concealed Handgun License: Print pending completion of application review". These sections are yellow with an exclamation point in a yellow triangle.
Is it normal for the "Application: Received" line to be yellow with the triangle??? Is it this way since the application isn't yet complete?

DPS must have done their "mass update" in the system this morning. At 2:00 AM (couldn't sleep, so why not check status AGAIN) I was still BG Under Review. At 10:00 AM, I am Manufacturing Pending, like the two posters previous in this thread.
12/23 - Online Application
12/28 - Fingerprinting
1/12 - CHL Class
1/17 - Documents snail mailed
2/6 - Status to Background Under Review
3/3 - Manufacturing pending!

Mine moved to manufacturing today also. Looks like it should be mailed in the next few days. I've read it is taking up to 5 business days once status changes to mailed until received. So, it looks like we will be getting plastic next week.

Problem is, I have to go out of town next week on business.
Oh well, been waiting this long, what's another week.
