• 12/8 - I take CHL class.
• 12/10 - 2 days later, I send in all paperwork to DPS.
• 12/14 - 4 days later, USPS confirms DPS receipt of my paperwork.
• 1/23 - 39 days later, DPS sends me a letter asking for further information, because I was born outside of the U.S. of an American father and French mother. (My father had a job with an American construction company building an airfield in Casablanca, and I just happened to be born while they were living there. We moved back to the U.S. before I was 6 months old.)
• 1/28 - 44 days later, I receive their letter and telephone them. They say that they have not done anything to process my application at all because of the "missing" info. They also tell me that my 60-90 day waiting period begins when they receive the additional information.
• 1/29 - 45 days later, I fax to DPS the following items:
  1. a copy of my birth certificate, signed by U.S. Consul in Casablanca;
  2. a copy of my U.S. passport;
  3. a copy of my Texas driver's license;
  4. a copy of my SS card;
  5. a copy of their letter to me; and
  6. a fax cover sheet. On the fax cover sheet I asked that, since they had sat on my application for 39 days before even letting me know that they wanted additional information, could they please expedite processing it, now that their information was complete. I phoned them to follow up, and was told again that the 60-90 days begins with the receipt of the additional information.
