Texas Concealed Handgun License
Texas CHL timeline ranges from 30-180 days. Reading many forums and notices, the time frame is about 90-100 days currently. No one ever states if its based on "completed application submittal" or the "web application" time. One might assume they have your info and will do their checks while you complete the course, but we all know a government entity isn't efficient. I'll assume my time stared 2/7/09.
