I almost fell off of my chair when she told me this, but she said she will be issuing my license TODAY!!!!!

Woo hoo, so after 169 days of waiting, my license is on the way to the printer then off to me! Maybe I'll see it this week. Regardless, I'm just happy that my wait is about to come to and end!

To all of y'all March folk still waiting, hang in there your wait is almost over!

To everyone still here, hang tough it won't be much longer.

I signed on to this forum and read about graybans issuance and figured I would take a stroll by the DPS site for the heck of it. Signed on expecting to see the usual Processing Application but was completely surprised by a Application Completed - license issued or certificate active!!! I double checked to make sure I had not entered someone elses info but sure enough I am almost outta here.

124 days from receipt by DPS to application complete.

Come on rural mail carrier...

Did I just graduate? Did it just happen? Did it, does it really say what it says?

Congrats, it is starting to get lonely in the March room. Be safe, enjoy your Wally Walk.

Any word on your "plastic"? I see it's your birthday today (05 July) - hopefully your present came in the mail today?!

No birthday surprises for me... I will call again on July 17th and see what they tell me. I am scheduled to go out of town on the 21st for a few weeks. I hope it is here waiting when I return.

Just joined the forum after waiting 115 days and still no license. I spoke with DPS last week and was told to wait 3 weeks before I call again. Ugh.

Now I am just waiting on the post man.

Took 'em only 109 days. When I visit Austin next month, I don't have to go to the DPS office and get ignorant. Now we'll see how fast the mailman is.

Y'all keep your chins up. Wally World, here I come!

The response is pretty close to what we have all been hearing; increase in applications, 15-30 days behind, temporary workers have been installed. It did say if I would like Rep. Kuempel to look into the status of my application to give him a call. I am going to call DPS today after lunch and see what they have to say.

ETA:Update

I held for about 8 minutes and was greeted by Lauren who transferred me to the technician who was working on my application (didn't catch the name). Got the voice mail, which stated she would be out of the office from May 12th to June 16th . Left a message. We'll see what happens.

What? No wonder your plastic is so slow to come - she was taking a long vacation?! I am sure that no one bothered to work her files either...

Gotta love the DPS...

I was thinking the same thing longhorn, I will see what she says when/if she calls me back.

Wasn't there a nice little adrenaline rush when you noticed that your status had finally changed?
