Maybe we can slow down and only tilt one for ya

YEEE HAAAA,
I finally got to mailed status.
The way things are going I should recieve it about mid June.
Now to go purchase my Hawaiian shirt for my Wally Walk

WOOHOO!! I'm also now in the "Mailed" status!! Since I live in Pflugerville (on the North border of Austin) maybe I'll get my license today or tomorrow! I hope it's today because I'm wearing my Wally Walk Aloha shirt and my CrossBreed SuperTuck (no pistol, of course). I'm hoping that the license was actually mailed yesterday or Wednesday and it took the system a day or two to update to mailed status.

You can guarantee I'll be stalking that mailbox this afternoon and this weekend!

IT IS ABOUT DARN TIME!!!
Congrats

Every time I see the thread "March 2010 Applications" I kind of squint to see who the last poster was, and if it was you, I would always think "yeah, he finally got it" and it has always been you in response to some one else :(
But now, the wait is almost over! Just a couple days (hopefully tomorrow or worse case on Monday) and you will be all set!

Major Congrats!

Hate to be a party pooper but don't hold your breath. Mine went to Mailed on Tuesday and as of yesterday it wasn't in the mailbox. Austin to Houston shouldn't be more than a day either. I have a feeling that going to "Mailed" means it has been created and sent to a group to package and mail but not necessarily "in the mailbox" like we would like to interpret it.

Quahog and I both know what you are talking about, ours went to Approved on a Friday and it wasn't until the next Wednesday I think that we got ours.
But for HH, at least his status finally changed, as he and Quahog were both received at DPS on the same day, and it is about 2 weeks later for HH to get his to go to Mailed.

I agree, we must have all been on the same day of receipt by DPS (03-29) and had varied results. My wife's was dated the same as mine and she got her plastic last Saturday. Go figure.

Always bringing me down!

I emailed our helpful friend Rene at DPS to find out if "Mailed" means mailed or something else. If nothing else, I'm sure it will be here early next week. At least I don't feel like the last one picked for the dodgeball team any more. I'm pretty sure I'll be heading down to Katy in June. I'll be sure to touch base with y'all before I head down there so we can all get together for a drink.

I hated to say it but if you are like me I am better off managing my expectations. I try and be positive about everything but when it comes to the government I tend to adopt the philosophy that it is better to be a surprised pessimist than a disappointed optimist. With any luck we will both have plastic by Monday at the latest.

to all who have graduated, or know that their plastic is "in the mail", I hate all of you because I am still in a background under review status.

To complete our discussion on "mailed", the response I got from DPS was that my license was issued on 5/6/10 and I should allow time for delivery... there was no indication of what "issued" or "mailed" means. I'm going to be an optimist and assume that both mean that it was actually put in the mail yesterday or today. Yes, I know that being an assuming optimist is a recipe for disaster. As I was frequently reminded in the Army, hope is not a strategy!

Sounds like a good plan. With a little bit of luck I will find mine in the mailbox today and can give you an update on what it means to go from Manufacturing to Mailed to Plastic in the new world that is DPS CHL.

It has been too long for "Plastic" posts, lets hope the plastic river is about to overflow.

It is personal for me, I want to read more "wally-walk" stories. I get a huge kick out of them.

Come on guys (and gals)....stalk the mailbox!!!!

Well, unfortunately I can't help today. Still no plastic even though it said Mailed on the 4th. Clearly there is a process since I got a package fron Utah today that was sent on the 4th. Maybe tomorrow?
