Hello everyone. Mailed my completed packet off to DPS this morning. I applied online and did my fingerprinting through FAST. Hope this makes the process go faster. I have several hawaian shirts and can't wait to do the Wally Walk!

50 days from taking class to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active" status. Looks like Austin is getting a lot faster.
