I did my usual online check today. Status now reads, "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active".

My status changed this morning to "Processing Application". It took four weeks to change status...maybe the plastic will be an early Christmas gift from the State...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Called DPS today as my application still shows "Packet Mailed to Applicant" almost 4 weeks after they received it. I was told they had received it and the application was still in pre-screening...sigh...

Tom

I'm not really in a hurry. I've carried in the past in other states. I figure keeping this thread going will help pass the time!

Tom

Well...did my daily check on the TX DPS Site. Still "Packet Mailed". Today ends week 2. Maybe it will change to processing next week...

Tom

I have the PIN but it still shows "packet mailed." I have two counties to check--Collin and Tom Green. We'll see how it goes.

Tom

I applied online so I received my pin with the printed application. I mailed mine package on Monday so I don't expect to see a status change for a couple of weeks.

My understanding is the 60 days starts from when the application is received by the "designated" person. The mailroom has 30 days to get it to that person so it can be up to 90 days.

I'm also wondering what impact the holidays will have. I'm hoping for an early present but don't expect to see the plastic until January.

Tom

Let's see what the holidays bring in terms of timing.

4 Oct - Application Completed Online
7 Oct - Application Received
20 Oct - Class Completed (mychl.com)
22 Oct - Application Mailed

Thanks to this forum, I included copies of my birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, and passport. My father was stationed overseas.
