Well I've been reading this a while. Decided to wait until after new fee schedule and take my chances on waiting. Here's my time line.

Took class and the Harvey struck !!! :shock:

9/5 application online done and fingerprints scheduled
9/6 fingerprinting done
9/9 all clear and print pending
Today 9/13 all clear and mailed status

I thought I'd be waiting longer but wow. This was fast!!!!

Does DPS send an email to you stating they have received your application and documents? Or do I have to periodically call them and check? I sent mine in by mail and not online.

Thanks

9/20 - All documents received including finger prints. So now the 60 days begin. The lady told me to call back at the end of the month just to check up on it.

You can just go to the DPS website, click on the online services, type in your info, and it will give you a page that shows the status of all your items. If you don't have any red flags issues they have to instigate, it should take a lot less than 60 days. I went from all docs received to "print pending" in a week.

Hi,
I sent my stuff in by mail because I didn't have my SSN on file with DPS and I wasn't about to pay for a new license, therefore I wasn't able to apply online. Hopefully it wont take too long.

Thanks

Ah, I see. Have you tried using your DL# and DOB on the login page? Seems like they should still provide updates for people there even if they mailed in their documents.
Good luck, I hope it goes fast. :smile:
