Current Application Processing Timelines

Applications Currently Under Review (based upon the date received)

The chart below reflects the applications under review by agency staff as of October 3, 2025. This chart will be updated on a weekly basis. Please use this chart to determine where your application is in the queue. Because most applications take an average of 30-40 days to fully process, please do not contact the Council with questions about the status of your application until at least six weeks has elapsed since you submitted it.

How to Use the Chart

By way of example, suppose you submitted your application on 8/27/20. On 9/4/20 you check the chart and it shows staff assigned to your license type are working on applications received on 8/13/20. That means you should expect to receive correspondence from staff regarding your application in approximately two weeks because there is a two week difference between the date staff are working on and the date you submitted your application.

*License application date is applicable to new licenses, out of state licenses, supervisors, and license upgrades.

The dates set forth in this chart reflect only those applications that have not received any type of review.  It does not refer to applications that have been reviewed and additional required documentation has been requested and/or sent in.  If you have sent in documentation based on a deficiency letter, please know that we have a staff member tasked with associating that submitted documentation to the appropriate application.  However, because the documentation could be for an application processed any time within the past year, it’s difficult to give a specific date.  If you sent your documents into the previous agency (i.e., HHSC) and are concerned about their availability, you may submit that documentation via our contact form.

Application Processing Times

The following figures represent the minimum, maximum, and median times for processing initial and upgrade applications by the Council in FY2025 for purposes of 22 TAC 882.9, Established Application Processing Times. The average number of days it took agency staff to process these applications has also been included for convenience purposes.
