Re: january apps

Confirmed my fear today. Called DPS to ask why my background review was still being done when people who sent their packet in after me were already getting their CHL.

I am correct that even though the status changed to Mailed on a Wednesday, DPS does not actually mail it out until Friday of each week? Sort like a batch mailing? Thanks Skip My friend's plastic ...

Re: Dear 2/13 mailers...

Still nothing for me either. Unofficial, what part of the state are you in? If it was postmarked on the 15th which others who's status changed on the 13th have notches their's was postmarked, it's still only "officially" been three business days. First class mail is 2-5 days typically.

Re: Feb apps delayed?

This is not unreasonable. In January, the time for the first update after submitting the application via postal mail was 3+ weeks.

Re: It's official....

Getting a little concerned. I sent my packet in last Thursday!! I checked the site and nothing yet! Should I call them to see if there is a problem? :???: FIFY You've likely got at least another two weeks before you seen an update. The mail get's held for at least 3 weeks before an entry tech opens...

Lots of posts referencing postmarks on a Wednesday. Here is one example. http://www.texaschlforum.com/view...
