my status also shows mailed on 2/3/13 kinda wierd but im ok with that after being on background check for almost 2 months i cant wait to go do the wally walk with my wife

So as i said a couple days ago I moved to mailed status on a Sunday of course a non mailing day thinking they mailed it out saturday as the website is normally about a day behind on everything. And I know I can expect at least a week wait so thinking Monday I will have it but, Is there a specific day in the week that they send out there bulk mail or not. Because i have seen some people say that there mail gets sent out on Friday's. However seeing other peoples statuses some have said there's have been post marked for Thursdays one i think one was Wednesday. So pretty much does DPS only send there mail out one day or does anyone know whats up with that. Thanks for any help. I only ask because if I don't get my license before the 14th I could have an pretty decent sized issue with my mailing address. But anyways thanks for any help.

Well got it in the mailbox today. My wait is finally over. 119 days mailbox to mailbox. A little bit on my fault though for the long wait but thats what it took.

Got it!

my packet was sent to Austin this day, 12 Feb, my Wife is waiting until after her BD, 16 Feb

It's official, mailed 2/13!

So I have a question about how long the initial license is valid for. I went into manufacturing 6 days after my bday....... so that means my new license will be valid for a few days short of 6 years?
