Took renewal class on June 6
Mailed packet on June 10

DPS website TODAY switched from "Packet Mailed to Applicant" to "Processing Application". (July 12, 2009)

. . . the race is on. Will I see it before the current one expires in November?

I am in Tarrant county.

Mailed packer on June 16th and I got my pin in the mail today!
Now I just need to keep an eye on the status instead of the mailbox. One step closer!

I have received My Pin!!. Not that it does much good. I doesn't give any useful information.

That's about as useful as weathermen here in Texas.

Moving today, application is processing. I have to send DPS a letter with my new address. Unfortunately I'm moving to a new county (Williamson to Travis). Guess this means I should expect an extra couple of months tacked onto the wait ... oh well, maybe I'll get it by Christmas!

Woot

class 6/28
mailed 6/29
processing application 7-17

"Application incomplete - missing information - detailed letter has been sent."

Perfect....

You can call them, like, right now, and see why, so you can have it ready to send immediately after you get the letter.

Reading your sig, I'm going to take a wild guess and say you applied for the 1/2 price discount for military?
Did you send them your DD-214 that says 'Honorable' as the type of discharge at the bottom, and/or a copy of your DD-256 Certificate?

I sent the DD-214 that didn't have the Type of discharge on it, That's what they got me on..

Howdy...actually, I'm currently active guard/reserve on title 10 orders, so I qualified for $0 state fee for active duty. I included a current copy of my LES and ID card with the package. Looking at my copy of the application, I see where I left a gap in employment from Nov 08 to the present. I applied online last year and got the preprinted app back from DPS, but didn't take the class and submit the paperwork until June of this year. I neglected to make the correction on the app to reflect that I was still and in fact employed by the Texas Air National Guard.

well I'm 2 weeks into 'processing' and waiting for the dreaded new 'fingerprints need' letter that a lot of folks seem to get about 2 weeks in..............

I did apply in June, and got my PIN today. Not really sure about 'watched pots', but I plan to watch the DPS site often. Sure hope my photo is not as bad as I remember, but probably is.
