Just a quick heads-up to anyone who sends for U.S. first-day postmarks. This is the address that the Postal Bulletin gives for the new Quilled Paper Heart stamp:

Quilled Paper Heart Stamp
401 Tom Landry Freeway, Rm 645
Dallas, TX 75260-9998


However, the USPS site itself says this is an "undeliverable address". I found this out when I was trying to print a Priority Mail label to send mine in for servicing. After some googling, I found that the "Tom Landry Freeway" is called, in the USPS database, the "Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike". Here's the address fixed in a way the USPS considers "deliverable":

QUILLED PAPER HEART STAMP
401 DALLAS FT WORTH TPKE RM 645
DALLAS, TX 75260-9990


You might want to change the 9990 in the ZIP+4 to 9998 so it's flagged for the Postmaster if you're addressing by hand, but 9990 is how the USPS postage printer standardizes it.

Here's the USPS Post Office Locator listing for confirmation that I am correct.

Hope this helps someone.

I think you'll find that "Tom Landry Freeway" and "Dallas Fort Worth Turnpike" are interchangeable addresses even though the USPS address finder website may say otherwise (there's many mistakes in that database, even my own home address is messed up).

Anyway, you'll find several government, newspaper and even USPS references using both addresses. Tom Landry Freeway is the newer designation, established in 2001 as announced here:

Another reference describes it as follows:


Quote:
The section of I-30 between Dallas and Fort Worth is designated the Tom Landry Highway in honor of the long-time Dallas Cowboys coach. Though I-30 passed well south of Texas Stadium, the Cowboys' former home, their new stadium in Arlington, Texas is near I-30. However, the freeway designation was made before Arlington voted to build Cowboys Stadium. This section was previously known as the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike, which preceded the Interstate System. Although tolls had not been collected for many years, it was still known locally as the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike until receiving its present name. The section from downtown Dallas to Arlington was recently widened to over 16 lanes in some sections, by 2010. From June 15, 2010, through February 6, 2011, this 30-mile section of I-30 was temporarily designated as the "Tom Landry Super Bowl Highway" in commemoration of Super Bowl XLV which was played at Cowboys Stadium.
