I mailed mine in on 6 Apr also. Haven't recieved a PIN either. I called to see how I can confirm that they even recieved the application, and they said to give it until the end of May. I'll wait 'till then and call again. I know they're really backlogged, but it seems there could be an easier way to do this. I think they should send something at least confirming reciept. Otherwise, it will be Jun before they can claim they never got it. Then I get to reapply, I guess. We'll wait and see what happens. Guess it wouldn't be a big deal if I would have thought to maybe send it certified or with some type of delivery confirmation.

Wow, I checked my status online this morning and I also moved to "Processing Application". I know I have a while to go again, but it's great seeing something change on the web site. Now I get to watch and agonize over "Processing Application"

My app still says "Packet mailed to Applicant". When I mailed it, I sent it w/ confirmed tracking, so I know the packet was received on April 24. I filled the app out online, so I got my PIN when they mailed me the app, but apparently they haven't started on my packet yet (fingerprints/photos/class completion/affidavits/etc).
04/19/09 -- CHL Class Taken
04/23/09 -- Packet mailed to DPS

Keep in mind that DPS got my application about 3 weeks before they got yours and mine only just changed to "Processing". You may have to wait another 3 weeks to see that status change.
