DH's plastic arrived in the mail today and while only less than one week from when I received mine, his is SO much cooler looking. Mine must be the old format. Whatever, right? But his really does look better.

I'm interested in what other factors y'all think may play in getting the appl completed in a decent amount of time.

We never called DP, and only patiently waited. I really expected it to take longer --maybe around Thanksgiving or Christmas. So, now we have an early present. Hooray!!

Let this be an ecouragement for those of you still waiting, so try not to get upset.................

My plastic arrived on Monday, yet DH's application was still processing. I checked last night and it shows: Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

He'll be happier when his face on plastic appears in the mailbox.

Plastic received today!! 67 days




(DH still waiting, though; he's not happy about that.)

This probably won't make you feel any better, but my husband's application is still processing, though the website shows mine is complete. (Maybe in the mail today or next week....)

Oh my, oh my!!!

I just went to the site & it says:

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

Guess it's in the mail!
WOW!!


I'll let you know when I get the license is received.

I wonder what the DPS site showed for your status when the license actually arrived---I mean, did the status actually change beforehand so you knew it was completed?

Our apps still the same status: "Processing Application"

Check has cleared & received letter with PIN #.
Texas DPS site says: Processing Application

Certified mail delivery says:

Your item was delivered at 9:29 AM on August 20, 2008 in AUSTIN, TX 78761.

I hope not!

I will keep you posted. After mailing the paper application certified mail, I wish I had completed the online application---perhaps that would make it a faster process even though the rest would still have to be mailed certified.

Oh well, too late now. It will be interesting to see whose license will process sooner--DH or me. I would think with the alias name a lot of us women change with marriage, it might take longer for me. We'll see!
