That doesn't sound good. Good luck. I hope it something simple. Thinking about it, maybe they were simply sending you a Valentines card.RX8er wrote:I sent them an email asking for an update and they responded that a "letter was mailed" on February 14th.

For real? I was kidding around a bit but was hoping to see they at least received my packet in a few days. I mailed it priority, no signature required. I can track it by USPS and see when it arrives in Austin.matthewk wrote:FIFY03Lightningrocks wrote:Getting a little concerned. I sent my packet in last Thursday!! I checked the site and nothing yet!

You've likely got at least another two weeks before you seen an update. The mail get's held for at least 3 weeks before an entry tech opens it and keys your data. If you get to 30days and have not seen a change, then call.
Thanks. I think I know what they want and I have it covered.03Lightningrocks wrote:That doesn't sound good. Good luck. I hope it something simple.

DPS told T_B_M that it is 3-4 weeks before initial entry to system and assigned a tech for further review. Then, it's running 1-3 weeks for the check to be completed and 3-5 days for production and mailing.03Lightningrocks wrote:For real?

Mine is a renewal. I am hoping it moves quicker than the new apps. Maybe not. Oh well... Fortunately I have a Utah non resident I can carry under for awhile.RX8er wrote:DPS told T_B_M that it is 3-4 weeks before initial entry to system and assigned a tech for further review.

I know but I don't think DPS knows it's a renewal until they enter it in to the system. Maybe the checks will go quicker for you. Too bad there isn't one department for renewal and another for initial.03Lightningrocks wrote:Mine is a renewal. I am hoping it moves quicker than the new apps. Maybe not. Oh well...
