Been waiting since March 28th and finally out of background and manufacturing pending!!!!

Took several calls and an email to my State Representative to get it done!

Overnighted documents to Austin on 3/28/2013. No movement on the application at all. Emailed an inquiry and pdf copies of my documents on 4/15/2013 and again on 5/15/2013 with the last response thanking me for submitting copies of my documents and stating that they would be forwarded to a manager for expedited processing.

As of today I have been waiting over 60 days with no acknowledgment online of DPS even receiving the documents. I am writing my representative to see if he can help.

Overnighted documents to Austin on 3/28/2013. No movement on the application at all. The Wife submitted hers by certified USPS mail two days before I sent mine and they already have hers marked as "Manufacturing"!!! Obviously there is no consistent process at DPS.

Emailed an inquiry and pdf copies of my documents on 4/15/2013 and the canned response was that it may take up to 4 weeks to "receive" the documents because they document received when it is opened and keyed into their database. They define receipt as the date they determine an application is complete, not when it is delivered to Austin.

BTW... I really have learned a lot from this forum and look forward to interacting with you as well!!
