'Mailed' 8 Days Ago

#1

Post by StuffandThings »

I've been in 'mailed' status since the 22nd and nothing in my mailbox except for the annoying catalogs that come during the holidays. Granted Thanksgiving was a non-mail day so it's really more like a week. How long do I wait before I call DPS?

I probably would have called the morning of the 23rd! :lol:

I think they go out in batches and mail on Fridays. That, at least, has been my observation. With the holiday and all, it wouldn't surprise me if you had a nice, pretty envelope sitting in your mailbox tomorrow.

And welcome to the Forum! :txflag:

Be happy it arrived. I think DPS won't do anything about licenses lost in the mail until at least 30 days has passed.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

OG, still researching what to carry so no immediate changes. That probably won't last too long. Seems like a lot of level-headed CHL holders on this site so I plan to continue reading/learning.
