Location and or store make no difference. The checks are all in the hands of the NICS system. We had one day where all we got were "Delays."
CHLs were in and out with their purchases.

Re: A nice benefit of Texas CHL
I supervise the Firearms department at a large chain store.
1: The 4473 form must be filled out completely and accurately. It is a Federal requirement for all guns purchased through an FFL.
2: With a valid Texas CHL the NICS background check can be skipped. Otherwise the NICS background check must be performed and the seller must get a "Proceed" to sell the firearm. Since it is done on computer at our company it takes longer to type the info in than it does to get a response most days.
3: The buyer pays for the firearm.
4: Paperwork must be completed to officially transfer the firearm to the buyer.
5: Due to the necessity of having accurate paperwork ( the Feds are about as "retentive" as it gets when they audit an FFL) we also have a requirement for a manager's approval on all paperwork before the firearm is released.
If we're not busy, which is rare, it can be done in about 15-20 minutes. Having a CHL cuts about 5 minutes or so off of the total time.
Disclaimer: Total time does not include ohh-ing and aww-ing over every firearm in the department, handling 3 or 4 before selecting one (or handling 3 or 4 just for fun), swapping stories with the sales associate and/or your buddy that came along, or anything else you wish to do to spend as much time as possible in a gun shop like we all do.
