Status 6/10:
"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."

Mine has said the same thing for probably about a week now. I'm hoping to get status soon.

Anyone having trouble logging into the site?

Yes. I think it's down.

Looks like it's back up but still no status.

Still no status, i'm resisting the urge to email them. I'll probably give it until Friday.

it does take about 2 weeks (sometimes almost 3) weeks for it to show on the website.

I have been locked in the "you have exceeded your maximum number of login attempts, try again in 24 hours" for three days now..........and I waited over 24 hours this last time.

That must be new. WHen I was waiting, I logged in many, many times per day and never received anything like that.

or finger flubs when logging in. I look probably 20 times a day. (I don't wait well)

Thanks for all the posts about waiting times. I just mailed my application yesterday (June 16th) certified mail. I'll check the DPS web-site in a few days for status.
Waiting ...

As it will take 30 days (minimum) to get your license approved, and normally at least 15 days (upto 20 days) to get it even online, don't sweat the time, and looking will drive you nuts, as it has done to everyone else (including me)... wait till July 1 and check, or even July 6 before checking the first time.
Even if you have an issue with it, you will be notified by mail with the issue and cant really do anything until you get the snail mail anyway.

So my best advice, for today, don't check it often, or at all, until at least 20 days from now.
Save the grief.

Being new to this whole thing, I didn't really have anything to contribute until now. I took my CHL class on May 22nd and mailed in the completed application on June 1st (the day after memorial day).

I'll just have to wait patiently now and cross my fingers that the ink fingerprints I sent are acceptable

I have the same dates as you do and am still waiting for something other than the "we mailed it and are waiting for you to send your stuff message" on Texas Online.

Same here, they should have received my packet on the 1st. I'm really hoping something pops up this weekend for it.

I am right there with you. I took the class on the 12th and sent mine out on the 14th

I tell myself this same advice all the time..........once I kept myself from checking till almost lunchtime, most days I wind up checking before I leave for work. No status yet.

I promise myself I won't check again till Saturday...............or maybe not.
