Now I'm starting to wonder if the mail lady got mine mixed up with another address. I receive mail addressed to someone else a lot, sometimes I wonder how much of my mail goes to their address by accident. I usually get important letters I've been waiting on though. So mad right now!!! :mad5 :mad5 :mad5

Alvin, isn't exactly a major mail hub.. The 2/13 mailed people who got them today likely live in hub cities like Houston or Dallas proper. Those of us in fringe areas just need to wait an extra day.

Just a note: I would say DPS is doing a pretty good job considering the volume of requests they are currently receiving. Been using the time to read and learn about my responsibilities once the plastic arrives. Good luck to all!

29 Dec 2012: Completed CHL Course
02 Jan 2013: Fingerprints Taken
02 Jan 2013: Mailed packet
04 Jan 2013: Packet delivered to DPS
25 Jan 2013: First indication on DPS website that they received packet
25 Jan 2013: Background Under Review
13 Feb 2013: Background complete
13 Feb 2013: Manufacturing pending
16 Feb 2013: Manufacturing complete

You are probably right. As I said earlier though, I have had issues with receiving mail addressed to a 122 address when mine is 112. Just kinda gets me a little scared that maybe the same happens with some of my mail getting put in the 122 box. Unfortunately I don't know the people at the other address and they don't speak english so I have some issues with trying to go ask them about it. I'm sure I'll get it this week though, I'm trying to stay optimistic!
