You've likely got at least another two weeks before you seen an update. The mail get's held for at least 3 weeks before an entry tech opens it and keys your data. If you get to 30days and have not seen a change, then call.

I sent them an email asking for an update and they responded that a "letter was mailed" on February 14th. Guess I'll find out what I missed in a couple of days. :banghead: :banghead:

That doesn't sound good. Good luck. I hope it something simple. Thinking about it, maybe they were simply sending you a Valentines card. :cool:

For real? I was kidding around a bit but was hoping to see they at least received my packet in a few days. I mailed it priority, no signature required. I can track it by USPS and see when it arrives in Austin.

Thanks. I think I know what they want and I have it covered.

DPS told T_B_M that it is 3-4 weeks before initial entry to system and assigned a tech for further review. Then, it's running 1-3 weeks for the check to be completed and 3-5 days for production and mailing.

Mine is a renewal. I am hoping it moves quicker than the new apps. Maybe not. Oh well... Fortunately I have a Utah non resident I can carry under for awhile.

I know but I don't think DPS knows it's a renewal until they enter it in to the system. Maybe the checks will go quicker for you. Too bad there isn't one department for renewal and another for initial.

Here's hoping a quick turn for you!! :cheers2:
