It's so crazy how each step just seems to take an eternity! Don't you wish there was an option that said, "Don't mail it, I'll drive to Austin myself and come pick it up myself!" I hope for your sake that it does get here by Saturday. If I were you, that's what I'd be hoping for, too! Good luck!!
That made me very very sad, but you are right some people did have theirs postdated a couple of days. :grumble
Oh well all I know is that it's on its way!
They were usually the ones that updated to mailed friday or Saturday that seemed to be delayed the most. I think you still have a chance for Friday or Saturday. :waiting:

Oh I know! I do remember people saying that their ID was postdated for a couple of days.

I think you are a little ahead of the curb Grapevinebill. 13 days since DPS received your packet, they have your fingerprints and you are already at BG. Yours is going through at a rapid pace. :thumbs2:
