So as i said a couple days ago I moved to mailed status on a Sunday of course a non mailing day thinking they mailed it out saturday as the website is normally about a day behind on everything. And I know I can expect at least a week wait so thinking Monday I will have it but, Is there a specific day in the week that they send out there bulk mail or not. Because i have seen some people say that there mail gets sent out on Friday's. However seeing other peoples statuses some have said there's have been post marked for Thursdays one i think one was Wednesday. So pretty much does DPS only send there mail out one day or does anyone know whats up with that. Thanks for any help. I only ask because if I don't get my license before the 14th I could have an pretty decent sized issue with my mailing address. But anyways thanks for any help.

.
my packet was sent to Austin this day, 12 Feb, my Wife is waiting until after her BD, 16 Feb

[brett3858]

It's official, mailed 2/13!

[brett3858]

So I have a question about how long the initial license is valid for. I went into manufacturing 6 days after my bday....... so that means my new license will be valid for a few days short of 6 years?
