when daughter got hers we went to Harrisburg and picked up a temp one that day to use till other came. if I remember correctly as was years ago temp one was good for 30 days
Here in Texas, I didn't even have to get out of my car! Just like going to the bank, pulled up to the drive thru, handed the person my forms and driver's liscence, waited a few minutes while she got and recorded my placard, then the drawer came out with my placard, she said "Thank you" thru the microphone and off we went. Gotta love Texas!
