Hopefully the card will be printed on Monday or Tuesday, and then it's just a matter of waiting for the mail... Overall, I'm fairly pleased with the amount of time this has taken. Looking at other posts, I know that it could have been a lot longer! Good luck, and stay patient!

Congrats. Won't be long now.

Congrats on your Chl.

dward,

Same thing as you:

I only check on Mondays to prevent myself from going crazy with checking the status. I also chose to have them use my TDL instead of mailing in a passport photo and wrote "Please use TX DL Photo" on the photo form.

I'm hoping it gets mailed out today... It shouldn't take long to print the card (assuming the status listed on the website is accurate). If they send it out today, I may be able to get it by Friday. If it gets mailed tomorrow, I'll hope for it on Saturday. It would be nice to have it for the weekend, especially since there will be no mail delivery on Monday (Memorial Day)!

From what Ive seen around here once DPS site updates to mailed it takes another 2 days before its actually mailed. Mine said mailed on 5/15 but was postmarked on 5/17, I got it in my hand 5/20.
