POLL: By Month, Who is still waiting for plastic?

#1

Post by GeekwithaGun »

While hanging out, mostly in the "Waiting Room" and seeing so many people waiting, I thought it might be interesting to get a quick count of people waiting. The poll is open for 10 days, I included the past 12 months just in case there are still folks out there.

I'm still at "Processing Application" on the DPS web site after being told 7 days ago it should be going to print, maybe next week I'll be :anamatedbanana :woohoo

Until then... :headscratch :totap:

Edit: 31-Aug-2009 - added "I received my license" and enabled "Re-Voting"
Edit: 08-Sep-2009 - changed poll to never end

Good idea geekwagon! Thanks. It'd be great if everyone voted in the next day or so.

Thanks for this. I voted March because DPS received the app originally March 25. But since my photos were deemed too light to print they got the new photos May 28 and sent to Harris County on June 1. Last Monday I called and still in Harris County. Called this morning and out to the printer. Hoo boy. :anamatedbanana

For those of you that already have your license and want to see the results (I didn't think about that at first) a new choice was added.
Thanks to Keith for asking for it.

Can you modify it so people can change their votes as they recieve plastic?
That way it can be used as a current counter of people, so long as they remove themselves from the month when they recieve it.

It is hard to believe folks from April have not received their plastic. That is absolutely ridiculous.

I'm in the April bunch and I suppose the June bunch too since I had to fix my fp cards. What I think is really bad is the January folks still waiting.

My CHL Instructor told us to count business days, not calender days. So, by that standard I'm at day 83. Had a small 8 day delay for missing onfo on my FP Card, also. I know DPS is doing all they can. Anxious I am, but patience must prevail.

As for those waiting much longer, perhaps some extenuating circumstances in the mix.
