DPS Processing Times

[03Lightningrocks]

That was pretty funny....and probably somewhat the reality... .

So I wonder if they threw my application in the Harris Co pile

H-A-R-R-I-S

N-U-E-C-E-S

Must have been the "S" at the end that threw them off

I called about my renewal today, I gave them a little grace period, and the young lady I spoke to told me my license had been issued but that it was out for printing and she couldn't tell me how long it would be before it came.

She didn't want to discuss the longer than statutory 45 days, she just said they were running "A couple months."

As near as I can tell, my plastic finally arrived on July 14 while I was on a trip to Florida.

114 days and still "Processing Application". I hope I'm not the only one singled out for a long wait. Whatever, I'm patient.

Status is.................Processing Application

[thomason]

DATE A COMPLETE APPLICATION RECEIVED BY DPS: 04/21/09
RECIEVED LETTER W/PIN # May 29,2009
DATE LICENSE WAS RECEIVED: Still waiting on the mail
TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS IN PROCESSING:N/A
DID YOU RECEIVE A LETTER FROM DPS REGARDING A DELAY:YES...May 29, 2009 with pin number
DID YOU CAUSE ANY DELAY IN PROCESSING. IF YES, EXPLAIN: No, Never been arrested, or questioned by law enforcement. Had for speeding tickets in last 30 years.

Four weeks ago I called the number on the sheet and they said they were waiting on a couple of outstanding items and to call back in a week.

One week later I called, they said everything is in so give us another week

Again, another week goes by, I call and they say, yes everything is in and you will need to speak to Mxxxx the processor. They transfer me to her and I leave a voice mail. I did that for 7 business days in a row.

On the 8th day I sent a electronic email to the governor of Texas's office Rick Perry. I get a email back on the 9th day stating they will be contacting the Director of the DPS office. They even gave the name on the email letter response.

Of course I do a search on the internet for this new found contact person and begin to send him a email directly. All the while being very respectful in just wanting to find out the hold up and what I needed to do to move my application along. I am about 1/2 half way typing my email when I get a call from Mxxxx the processor of my application staying that everything was clear to approve and that I should have my card in about 10 to 12 days. She was very professional and I thanked her for her help in getting it through the process. I was born and still live in the same county for the past 47+ years, never had an encounter with Law enforcement. Seems like the state should be able to process these in a much faster time frame.
