Sent mine electronically on 3/25. Guess I should be getting that email in a week or so. I did call and confirmed that they did receive the docs in the attachment so not really worried about it (mine is a renewal).

I just have to ask...are you sure you're logging in right to TXDPS website? DL correct? SSN correct? Birthday correct? Did you submit them right on your application? It just seems strange that you would not be in the system yet.

I'd call to make sure all was right on your app.

My packet was received by DPS on March 7th. Today (5/17) my status changed to background under review. Everything else was checked.

We'll see how long this piece takes!

Yeah I just got off the phone with DPS, and was told that I was calling way too early because they were just starting to process packets received around March 1.

My application & payment was processed in January, packet received via certified mail 3/14 and I have not had my status update yet. I know they are swamped and backlogged but he wouldn't even let me finish my thoughts, just kept interrupting with "it's way too early" "you're way too early" even though it has been 5 weeks since they received my packet in the mail.

Looks like I have another 2 weeks or more before I even start to see life in my status.

Yeah well there ARE people who submitted 1st week of march who are being processed including a friend of mine and a few other folks here. I reckon there's probably still some feb apps mixed with march apps but they HAVE processed some march apps.
