February 28, 2011 – Paperwork (all forms completed by hand) mailed to TX DPS
March 8, 2011 – Check cashed by TX DPS
March 22, 2011 – Background check sent off for investigation (per conversation with DPS. 2 – 4 week turnaround time)
March 23, 2011 – Dated letter from DPS (arrived March 25th) stating application received and being processed

Re: March 2011 Applications
Has anyone who had their status changed to 'mailed' on the 7th received their plastic?

Re: March 2011 Applications
That is my take as well based on historical data located on this forum. DPS appears to manufacture and mail CHLs once per week. They're likely batching them to reduce cost with the vendor that produces them rather than sending small batches daily.Bulldog1911 wrote:Seems a lot of people's were mailed on the 7th. I wonder if they wait for until they fill a certain number and then manufacture the group on the same day?
