which is not that bad. So for those still waiting, DPS has gotten a little quicker with their turnaround time. Can't wait for my first wally walk.

I wanted to post what happened to me because I feel like it was a unique experience and everyone seems to be going through something sketchily different. I took my classes back in November and sat on the paperwork for a few months. (Stupid, as I quickly figured) but finally got around to getting my prints the last week of May. I couldn't find any clear answers about the passport photo, on whether I should send in a picture or if they use the DL photo the state has on record. . So I went ahead and paid to get a picture taken figuring better safe than sorry. I sent my packet certified (which the chl instructor made sound super official, but the lady at the post office was so chill. It was all just put into an envelope. Lol that blew my mind I thought it was going to be complicated) on June 20. Which was a fri. Certified to land in Austin that next Monday right after th weekend.

A full week went by and on the second Monday the tx dps website screen saying they were waiting on my packet and info etc disappeared. And the only thing that showed on the website was the option to apply for a chl instructor. Nothing else.

So this Monday (July 7) the screen changed again, only giving me options to change my adress. Change my info. Report a stolen or lost license etc. and today , June 11. I GOT THAT BAD BOY IN THE MAIL. Postmarked from Austin July 9.

I never got any screen saying what they had and what was ever processed. From mailbox to mailbox three weeks exactly (Fmailed on a Friday Recieved on a Friday.)

Pretty sweet. And btw. They used the DL PHOTO. So I think they tossed my glamour shots in the garbage, that or hopefully it was someone found me attractive enough to get on my application and now they are hanging on some strangers cubicle lol

Hopefully the new site updates won't allow this to happen to anyone else, although I doubt I'm the first.

Mailbox to mailbox 19 days, June 17th to July 5th.

TexasNativeDRJH wrote:The last update I saw was "waiting for required materials" which is frustrating because it makes it seem like you made a mistake and they have incomplete packets.
