Switched to mailed Saturday. Everything was sent in 10/21/13. That is 117 day to be mailed not yet recieved.

I submitted my documents 10/21/2013. I recieved my first update 2/11/14. That is 113 days for an update... just an update. I am now waiting on the background check. I feel you other guys pain. I checked and some of the november people have already gotten there plastic. Nice to know if I submitted my documents a month late I would have had my plastic by now.

sorry to hear about your trouble. I just hope were getting close.

Congrats!!

How many people other then me are still waiting?

I still don't have an update after submitting it 10/21/2013. After not hearing anything and calling and being told they lost my documents, I also called my representative and got a call from DPS. The lady I spoke with said they did have my documents and it looked like it only had a few more days to be complete. Still no updates online though. I will call again in a week if I don't get it or an update. I heard some never got an update but did get the license.

Well, it sounds like Texsanlaura and I both got screwed. she said she called a day or 2 ago and was told to resubmit her documents. I called just a while ago, (multiple tries) and I was told that they could not see any documents submitted before November so I would have to send it in again. I was also told that I would have to start over in line even though I have been waiting since 10/21/13. It sounds like all the people who submitted it multiple ways were the smart ones! The lady at DPS also said that at one point they had over 15,000 emails not to mention the mailed documents. She said they are now at 1,900 and things are starting to normalize. I guess if I deleted all my past due emails I would be caught up as well! So if you submitted your documents before November and have not gotten ANY update, resubmit as soon as you can. If you have an update they have received all the documents. Good Luck all.

Day 95 and I still have YET to have a status update.
The only thing I can think of that may be slowing me down is that I am a dual citizen. I did submit all the required documentation, but maybe it adds extra time on the application?

I submitted my stuff 10/21 and have not heard a thing yet either so I doubt it is the dual citizen that is slowing things down. (92 days) DPS just does not have their act together. Maybe the person that is working yours and mine is out sick or something. I tried calling today to see if I could get in touch with them and maybe ask about it but I only got a busy signal. Back in November I called and got through. The guy told me I would get it in 3 weeks if I was lucky and by February if I was not. Looking like I am not lucky.

I feel DPS could do a better job letting people know what is going on. I would love to see something that says we have xxxx number of applications received and you are number xxxx so you could at least see progress. I know it is not first come first serve so that would not really work. If they did that, they could work more on applications and less in phone calls. Not that they are answering them at all. Also the application process online is not very clear and leaves you wondering if you did it right. I feel like I am at wal-mart and the person in front of me is having to get a price check with the slowest checker in the store.

I have been watching everyone for a while and kept getting excited that you all got updates. I did my paperwork on October 21st and not even an update yet. I checked the November crowd and they have been getting updates. Mine must be lost in the shuffle...
