My boss has decided that I need to drive 3 hours to Austin tomorrow to do 30 minutes of work. Would DPS get mad if I stopped at their headquarters and asked what was the hold-up with my license?
Ben Franklin once stated that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. I tend to agree with him.

I just checked the status of my application and it's finally processing. I mailed out the forms on April 29th certified return receipt and I got back the receipt on May 5th without a date on it so I don't know when they actually got it. Now that I know they have it, I can calm down a bit. I'm sure it'll take another four months at least considering how long people have been waiting.

Applied online: April 15th
Completed two day class: April 23rd
Received packet from DPS: April 29th
Mailed packet: April 29th
Received return receipt: May 5th
Processing: June 2nd

Well I fought the urge to check the website over the weekend since it only discourages me. I of course checked the waiting room to see how everyone was doing and if anyone needed a beverage or a pillow :tiphat: I noticed a few people who submitted in March got their plastics. I checked the wesite and....(drumroll please)...I've been status changed to Application Completed!!!!!!!! :cheers2: :hurry: :anamatedbanana :fire So it looks like your wait is almost up if you applied in February or beginning of March!

Nope. DPS sent it next day UPS; not via the United States Postal Service.

For those of you who have emailed the CHL dept what information did you include in the email?
Name, Address, SSN, DL #, Date application recieved, etc..
The reason I ask is that I emailed them yesterday morning and have not received a reply.
