More details are on an earlier post but I mailed in everything but fingerprints on 3/18, fingerprints were done 3/26, and status changed to "Shipped" on Friday 5/24. It should arrive in the next day or two. 
Happy Memorial Day to all my brother and sister Veterans and my prayers and thanks go to everyone who gave their life and limb for our country and to their families who sacrifice mso much.

Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend. I finally have plastic in hand today after mailing my stuff in on March 11th.....soooooo.....that's 2 months and 16 days for those following the length of the average processing times. I'm sure the folks in Austin are swamped. Anyway, be patient, it will come.

The license FINALLY ARRIVED TODAY! 
a total of 81 days from mailing until return
At least its here just MUCH longer than the 45 days that was talked about when I started the process.

Almost 60 days to show anything! But happy with what I see.

Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending
19 days in background review! (Surprising because I had a Top Secret clearance from the Army, although 15 years ago. I've lived at the same address for 12 years now, and the only time I've left the country was a trip to Canada about 7 years ago.)
At any rate, I'm happy with progress.
Concealed Handgun License : Mailed
Hopefully, I'll update tomorrow with "plastic in hand!"

Guys I sent my packet in on or around March 27, 2013. I did this a full week ahead of my buddy that I took my class with. His status online has already changed and mine still show that they are waiting on my paperwork. I have tried contacting the DPS a few time with absolutely no response. Seeing as how everyone here appears to be moving right along what is the suggested next steps?

Exactly 3 weeks to the day after my background check was started, it is now completed and my CHL is pending manufacturing.
Wife is still in background check and hers was started the same day as mine. We both have clean records so not quite sure why hers is not complete. Hopefully it is just a minor clerical delay and her CHL will be pending manufacturing in the next day or two.
