The farther you are from a population center the better.

The best one I have ever been to was in Fairfield, TX.

On the advice of numerous friends who had been there, I drove out I-10W to the DPS in Columbus, TX -- about 45 miles from Katy. Got there right at 8:30 and was third in line. I thought it would be fairly quick, but there was only one person there to process applications and answer the always-ringing telephones. Took me 4 hours including driving. Rosenberg DPS took even longer.

Is the Katy DPS location still out of action? I used to go there at certain quiet times and experience no wait at all.

So, let me get this straight - you might drive three or four hours to shave some time off what might be a two-hour wait in line? Makes perfect sense to me.

Well, if you wait in line for two hours it feels like seven because you are not moving. If you drive to Fairfield you are traveling at 80 mph the whole time.

Seriously, I had regular business in Fairfield a few years ago and would be there at least once a week. It probably goes without saying that if you don't have a good reason to be in Fairfield then you shouldn't go.

And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.
Seriously, just bring a book or something.

What's the difference if you're going to drive out to BFE?

Here's your problem - you're asking for "efficient" out of a government agency. You might as well ask which McDonald's has the best filet mignon.

Of course if I was forward-thinking enough I would be selling this folly to as many rubes as I could find - if I get a million idiots to drive two or three hours out of town, it'll just make the lines here shorter.
