I was told if you have anything on your record it will take the full 60 days. I have a PI arrest from 23 years ago so I won't be getting mine until mid March.

Not true, you got the answer that would keep you from calling them back for another month. It's not as absolute as they say it is..

Yeah that's not true I had one arrest in 2003 for driving while license suspended and mine only took 42 days to get to mailed status. Hang in there, every apps wait time is different.

First, yes I have a new screen name, my previous one was unacceptable. At any rate, after I called DPS to question the time span of my license compared to others and they told me it would take the full 60 days due to my record my status changed to Manufacturing Pending on 2/24. I guess Manufacturing and Mailed are next.

I was also told by DPS that any action taken will not show up for 24 hours on the internet. So if they change your status to Mailed today then tomorrow the internet will indicate it as mailed. Take that with a grain of salt. I have figured out there is no reason to call because you will not get a straight answer and there is no logic to the process.
