Thanks
There still could be changes over the weekend. Don't give up hope on this week yet.

Hoping for a great week with some great changes
Going out of town on Thursday and hoping to be in manufacturing by then (if not mailed).
Frustrating to see so many people changing to mailed that were behind me or at least same time as me

I received a response from DPS regarding my email that I sent last week. Of course it was their standard response:
A review of our records indicates that your completed Texas Concealed Handgun license application was received on 3/28/2012. You must allow 60 days for processing. We do not consider your application overdue until after 5/28/2012. You may track your status online at
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, Concealed Handgun Section, as long as you have all of the required information.
Maybe that pulled my file to the top of the stack and I will get some movement on it soon. I sure don't want to wait another 20 days.

That sucks!
Sounds like you need to go the range and shoot some steam off
That should make you feel better for a little bit.

Hope it is not too long of a wait.

You first update will be about 2-3 weeks just to say they received your packet.
You will spend about 2-3 weeks in Background Check
Then about another Week once it goes to Mailed status...
This is the trend that i have seen and pretty much experienced as well.
Mine went to Mail Wednesday 5/9, I'm anxious to get home to see if I have plastic in my mail box... but I am expecting to be disappointed...
