Well, maybe the trick is that you finally get fed up enough to post here, lol.

As I stated in my very first post - last night, my application was received on March 26th.

I called four times and finally emailed on the 18th.

Well, I was shocked to see THIS today - (146 days since 3/26) -

"Application Completed - license issued or certificate active"

Hang in there. It looks like they may be trying to catch up!!

Good luck to you all!!!!

My 25 y.o. son and I took the same course together and I mailed our applications at the same time. They were both received by DPS on March 26th. In mid-May, my son's license arrived in the mail. I have yet to receive mine. I don't have so much as a traffic ticket, so I can't image what the hold up is!

I've called four times and got a different answer every time. 1)waiting on two background checks, 2)background checks are complete, waiting on supervisory approval, 3)everything is complete, should be finished soon, then finally, 4)those people you spoke to before don't work here any more and they didn't even have access to the information they were telling you....

So, on August 18th, I sent the following email.


I am fully aware of the recent sudden increase in the number of applications received by DPS. However, there seems to be more than a "normal" delay in the processing of my application, which has been in DPS's system for more than 145 days.

If there is a problem or question, I would appreciate an opportunity to address any concern. Otherwise, I would equally appreciate an explanation other than "we're swamped".

Assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.


On August 20th, I received this reply from CHL@txdps.state.tx.us-

Dear Mr. Tisdale,

I understand your concern and apologize for the delays you have experienced. We are on the final step of processing your application. Please allow a little longer.

Obviously, I'm still waiting...........
