Staples had it. I am sure that Office Depot or any other similar store will have the same color paper.

I got my packets in this week as well.

I am not using the applications that came in. I went to the store got some canary paper that matches the applications, and copied about 30 of them off for the class this weekend.

I have printed everything else up and got fingerprint cards when I ordered my fingerprinting supplies.

I am going to treat the original packets like gold.

If anyone really needs some applications I will work with you to get you some "copied" applications.

Good luck to the rest of you that are having troubles.

Well I finally heard back from the DPS on the applications. They didn't return my phone call from the message I left, so I sent an email to them regarding the delay in sending packets and posting the application on the web site.

Here is their response.

Sorry for the delay regarding the student packets. The department awaits for the new updated forms that the packets contains to be received from our print shop. When those will arrive will be mailed out as soon as possible.

Regarding the downloadable forms, as previously said most of them are available and hopefully the application will be added very shortly on the website also. Right now the application form is revised and ready to be approved by our management.

I have a serious question for these folks. If the management hasn't approved the revised form, what they heck are they waiting on from the publishers. Logic would dictate that the form would be approved and then sent to the publishers, not approved after they are all printed. Or is the downloadable form going to be different than the form that is sent in the packets. That doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Something seems off here.

I have a call into them now, and am waiting on them to call me back to find out what the long term solution to this will be.

I have requested packets some weeks ago, but have yet to recieve them. I too got the canned email response that the forms are available online.

I guess I will ask the lady who calls back what the purpose of having affidavits and other information available online when the critical form, the application is not available. If they are going to require the application be filled out online, then they might as well make the affidavits with the E notary be summited online as well, leaving only the photos, and form 100 to be mailed in with the fingerprints or other supplemental information.

I thought that during the first class in July this year the woman from the CHL section said that the applications would not be required to be yellow in the future. Maybe I was wrong about that.
