Quick introduction... My user name is teds787. As you may have guessed, my name is Ted. The 787 is not a random number. My home is Austin, TX. I wasn't born here, but I got here as quickly as I could after Mom and Dad let loose of me. All Austin zip codes start with 787, and I've had several. I used to us my current zip code as part of my user name, but then two years after I moved I couldn't remember what my old zip was and subsequently, my user name. So far I haven't had any user name conflicts with teds787.
I took my CHL class July 31st and mailed my packet on August 9th. Today's the 10th. So far I've only checked the DPS web site for status once. I wonder if I should even try to keep track of how many times I end up checking for the status. I'm guessing I'll have at least a month to go over the wealth of knowledge available in this and other sites.
Like I say, I hate waiting, but I've done what I can and now there's nothing else to do.
