Let's hear some updates!

I think the processing staff is doing a great job. The volume of emails and telephone calls must keep 50% of the staff busy.. We should send flowers and candy every time a license is completed on time. The employees of the stated Texas are under payed and over worked. We must support these poor people. We must be calm and patience in light the working conditions.

P.S. Day 86.

sure they are understaffed but geeze they say it takes 60 days so it should take 60 days
like the guy a few posts ago said 140 per app and over 100k apps last year the money is there to get some more people to speed things up its just not to much to ask for what was promised

Congrats, asleepatthereel! I'm encouraged every time I read that someone's plastic got issued!

does anyone have any idea what day of the week the status page is updated, and what time of day?

i sent my packet in with the money order on feb 1 and here i sit with nothing to show for it but processing application. for the last six years i worked for the state of texas in TDCJ. i lived at the same place for four years and three years in the same residence before that. nothing above a class c misdemeanor and i don't think that ever even went on my record. what the heck could be taking so long?

i lost count but i think i'm at day 86 or something...
