August Applications

[mkmulin13]

I woke up this morning and first thing I did was go to computer to check status...been doing it everyday, twice-a-day (morning & evening.) Anticipated the dreadful "Processing Application," but was shocked to see "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active." It took exactly 60 days since "processing application." Now I will rush home to check the mail everyday...disgarding all bills/junkmail and searching for my "Holy Grail."

Good job. I am happy that DPS is improving on the processing times. I think they are trying. Now tell us about your Wally Walk.

I'm right there with mkmulin13. Today is exactly 60 days for me and my status just changed! Maybe I'll get my wife to document my Wally Walk this weekend!

I'm happy for all you guys but you are killing me. LOL. Because of this I have gone from checking once a day to 10-20 times a day. Feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. LOL.

Has anyone in the August applicants from Harris county received their plastic? It seems like everyone but Harris county is getting theirs, Im coming up on day 70 here.

What is the number to call and check on the status of your application?

You've just now gone over 60 days. With the known delays, you can't expect it to be on time. Patience is a virtue.

But, if you just HAVE to call, the number is listed here http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administra ... sindex.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; at the bottom of the page.

Just got the call from Judy at DPS...she says that everything is completed, but they've put the wrong address on the CHL....she's optimistic that it'll be in my hand by Friday, but I won't be holding my breath....but I am pretty happy!!!!!!!

I'm glad that I can be the first from H-town to get their license from the August batch (I think)....Judy said that they(DPS Houston) was finally sending completed BC to the Austin office(done electronically not snail mail)....so there is hope everyone...I'll post as soon as it arrives...hopefully by Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok ~ so I couldn't take it anymore and called the DPS today ~ I had my pics rejected as they were "to grainy" but got new pick and sent them O/N the next day. The lady at the DPS today finally gave me the timeline on the delay ~ listen to this ~ they rejected them on 9/30 and I received the letter on 10/13 (WOW what a delay thanks to snail mail) ~ I Sent them back in and they were recieved about 10/16. So that's 13 business days (almost two weeks) that was wasted!!! Talk about frustration!!!!!! Oh well ~ at this point I hope to get the plastic by mid November if I'm lucky! One thing ~ can anyone tell me how they are getting details on what is left to do on thier app? I noticed that several people have said that they are just waiting on X but when I call the DPS they say that they can't see what still hasn't come in. They said that they can just see that it's processing (which is what I can see online also) ~ I'm not sure I completely believe them though as they had the timeline info above. Do I need to speak to the person that is working MY app? If so how do I find out who that is?

Thanks

My status changed to "Application Completed" overnight. Wouldn't you know, I have to go out of town on Thursday and won't be back until Monday. I am definitely not complaining! I think you can just call in and ask for the evaluation tech who is working on your file.

I'm on day 89 right now...I don't understand! I called today and the lady said that it was Processing DUH!
