March applicants

#1

Post by txkn33 »

Ok just wondering who all sent in there paperwork in the Month of March 2013. (I see the ones for Jan and Feb but not showing a thread for March.)

It is four weeks today that mine was mailed. No change on the website yet. And yes I know it is a while before they do. Just would like to keep up with the ones in March to compare with. Thanks ahead of time.

2.27.13 DPS application online
3.06.13 Fingerprints
3.09.13 CHL class
3.11.13 All documents mailed via USPS (certified)

Still not showing any updates on the DPS website, I guess I'll have to be a little more patient.

The DPS received my packet on 3/19. I'm pretty much trying to not think about it anymore until I get my plastic. It's hard, but I only allow myself to check the status on Monday evenings now.

Me and wife both did everything on the same dates so our status is the same:

3/8-9 CHL class
3/10 Online application
3/14 Fingerprints and photos
3/18 physically dropped all required materials in the DPS drop box (Denson drive Austin)
4/23 Awaiting receipt of required materials

Typical government bureaucracy. They take your money in no time then it takes them 36 days and counting to walk from their desk to the dropbox to enter you in the system. Inefficiency at it's finest.

Just a big word of advice, anyone that mailed their documents March 1 or later will not show a status change yet. They still just entering apps from Feb still. Instead of driving yourself crazy, mark your calendar for like 3 weeks out then check again. Of course I know there are those that enjoy checking anyway not sure why. Just trying to help.
