I'll be interested to see how this goes. I mailed my packet in on June 8 and my online status still says, "Packet Mailed to Applicant".

I emailed DPS, and it was ignored.

I left a voicemail for DPS, and it was ignored.

I emailed DPS again on the same day that I called and held for 90 minutes to talk to somebody (just left the speakerphone on while I worked). The lady answered the phone and said it takes 6 weeks to get my application entered into the system to BEGIN processing. That same day I got a response from my first email inquiry stating:

Your application has not been entered into the system. It is likely going though the processes required before entry. When a completed application is entered you will be sent a confirmation letter with your PIN number.

So we'll see. I know I'm not past the 60 days yet (on a renewal application, nonetheless), but if they're waiting 6 weeks to begin the processing, then that leaves them two weeks to finish processing and get my plastic in the mail.

Luckily my card doesn't expire until November, but it sounds like I could cut that close from others' experiences.
