Re: April Applications
Heather dropped mine in the mail in Monday mornings mail, its not here yet. Maybe the mail man will be nice to me and bring it today.
I think, from what I've seen, its been about 3-4 days for most. That (Im sure) depends on where in Texas you live though!!!

Re: April Applications
I just got my PIN this week, and now I wish I hadn't. I've definitely made up for lost time by checking at least a dozen times a day. On the bright side, it did help me finally memorize my DL#.

Re: April Applications
It's finally here!
And it only took 115 days to get the plastic in hand!
I did find it odd that it is valid for four years seven months, until March of 2013. I thought they were only valid for a max of four years.

Re: April Applications
They are valid to your birthday after your fourth year. This means they could be possibly be valid for up to 4 years 11 months. *cough*cough*...This should have been covered under your CHL class....*cough*cough*ArmedTeacher wrote:It's finally here!![]()

Re: April Applications
But they are good for five years now, anyway.
The change from 4 years to 5 years was made some time ago.
This is another thing your instructor should have known.
