About a year ago, UT was temporarily behind on applications and renewals, so they started posting the wait time on their web site. For the last few months, they have posted that wait time is normal.
In addition to being a UT instructor, I renewed my personal UT license, and it was returned in less than 10 days.

You keep referring to "here." Where is "here" for you?

Bt the way, I have both FL and UT licenses (since they first were available). One big difference is that the FL license costs twice as much as UT, and renewal in FL is just like the initial application: fingerprints, costs.
UT renewal is $10 and a new picture every five years. Class and fingerprints are one-time only for UT.
The class must be taken from a certified UT instructor: no generic classes qualify for UT.
