Are you sure? That is awfully fast! Your petition doesn’t remain in Texas, so it being transferred to CSC would be normal. Are you sure it wasn’t just a notice that your petition was transferred? Wait for the hard copy to confirm.

If you did receive your noa2, congratulations! On to the next step!
