Welcome to the forum.

Having a clean record can't hurt. I don't think it necessarily helps, either. Turnaround time seems to depend upon workload at DPS and perhaps at the FBI.

I've heard that CHL background checks take low priority at the FBI, but I don't know that for a fact.

Good luck.

seems to me they would want to hurry up and get more law abiding citizens out on the street with guns

They're bureaucrats doing their jobs. I doubt most have a political opinion one way or the other.
