Plastic in the mail today for both of us!

They don't mail out of Austin believe it or not. They ship them to a company in San Antonio to be mailed out.doombuggy110 wrote:So I got that strange reply email saying my card was printed and mailed as of 3/25. I'm 45 minutes from Austin, usually mail up there is one day. Still nothing as of today. But our post office is a joke. No status change, no plastic as of 3/28... Hoping for tomorrow. Anyone else in a similar boat with the status not changing? I've lost all trust in what they say, so no plastic after three mail days coming from so close and no status change makes me highly suspicious...
I was all in around 1/6-8. Best of luck to all y'all still waiting and congratulations to those of you who have gotten yours!

My TX application has a five week headstart on my AZ application. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if my AZ non-resident permit shows up first.TnVolInTx wrote:Just got off the phone with a nice lady from RSD. The "new" wait time is now 12 weeks due to the amount of permits they are dealing with.

Plastic ??
I have to say that I was surprised that my Democratic State Rep from Liberal Austin did more for me than Governor Abbott. While I did receive a form letter from Governors office saying I would be contacted, I never was. I never received even an acknowledgement from Watson's office which shouldn't surprise me. Duke's staff on the other hand contacted me within 2 hours of my initial email and kept in contact with me to make sure RDS had contacted me. When no one had by last Friday, she assured me that she would follow up on Monday. After I got my 2 calls, I was forwarded the email from RDS saying that my license had been approved and asked if there was anything else they could do for me. Rep Dukes does have an opponent in November and I will make sure to cast my ballot for her.
Same, email said same date but no website change and nothing in the mail today and I'm in San Antonio. Maybe tomorrow.doombuggy110 wrote:So I got that strange reply email saying my card was printed and mailed as of 3/25. I'm 45 minutes from Austin, usually mail up there is one day.
