So, I called DPS again. They said mine was sent to the printer in july, but came back "defective", they have sent the license again and I am 2-4 weeks out per felicia's instructions during the call.

Given that, what they have told me (my license is being printed) since July 10, almost makes sense.

I don't know how they become defective or what that means, but this is just silly, a waste of time and taxpayer coin.

Anyway, I am going to just visit with my state rep on this today, his office is near my office. This is the first time I will have brought this up with him.
Course 5/2
Mailed packet 5/4
Application Processing 6/10
After reprints and all FINALLY 8/5 Plastic!

I lived in Williamson county when I submitted the forms but have since move to The People's Democratic Republic of Travis County. I even had to submit a change of address in process. I figured the address change would gum up the works a bit, but I guess not. I hope they mail it to the correct address.

Thanks for speedy reply. :tiphat:

I guess not too. I wonder if they have a 'will call window' for picking up your license at DPS HQ? :lol:

That'd be nice, but I bet there'd be line half way around the block.

Mmmm....hmmmm. But they'd prolly close it because they couldn't use the mail delayed as an excuse anymore. :shock:

Nah, they'd probably still use the postal service to send it to the will call window.

Fantastic news! Congrats, it won't be long now. BTW, I don't think any messages are given between '[processing', and 'approved and active'.
