My wife sent her renewal certified mail on 3-20. Haven't seen or heard from DPS or UPS.

Edit 4/16 - Checked USPS site again and it showed delivered on 3/25/13.

My online part was done in December (Christmas present). I did my finger printing and mugshot in February. CHL was on the 2nd of March and all the rest was received by DPS on the 7th.

No change yet.

2-22-13 Fingerprints rejected.
3-01-13 Fingerprinted again
3-02-13 Class completed
3-04-13 Paperwork sent Certified mail
