hi hjlucas , welcome to the forum
Joe is correct . right now the waiting period seems to be within the 60 day limit for the most part .

to answer your original question , after the elections there was a huge increase in applicants causing a backlog
of applications .

some applicants had to wait for as long as 9 months in some cases .
personally , mine took 113 days . i was an April app.

good luck to you .

72 days wait time from date of packet drop off. A significant improvement from what I've been reading!

Time for a Wally Walk! :)

Seriously though.. 20 days? wow! They're picking up speed there!
Hopefully you'll be one of the first ones to get issued under the 'new, speedier DPS'

I'm timing my turn in so I'll only have to wait 35 days, start to finish.

Yeah right. And if you believe that, I have a bridge over the Trinity I'd like to sell you.

in a perfect world , you should be able to walk in with your packet ,at any DPS substation,
they punch a few keys ,
and presto , you're approved .
"here is your temporary license until your permanent one arrives in the mail in 2 weeks max."
"have a nice day"

if a man could walk on the moon 40 years ago,
should'nt you be able to get a license in 40 minutes ?

they need a new slogan .."we work hard , so you dont have to "
or.... "what can DPS do , for you "

That's pretty fast! I wonder if all those temps and process changes we've been hearing rumors about are kicking in.
