The most recent reports show very short TSA wait times at DFW. As of mid-morning Tuesday (Tue Mar 24, 10:17 AM), one traveler reported just one person ahead in the general line. TSA PreCheck users are seeing minimal waits: 3 people ahead (Tue Mar 24, 10:01 AM) and 5 minutes (Sun Mar 22, 2:00 PM). Early morning departures have been particularly smooth, with waits around 20–25 minutes even on busy travel days (Mon Mar 23, 1:48 PM and Mon Mar 23, 10:28 AM).
Wait times have improved significantly from the weekend. Sunday afternoon saw a 1 hour 45 minute average wait (Sun Mar 22, 2:00 PM), but by Tuesday morning this had dropped to 26 minutes on what was noted as the busiest travel day of the week (Tue Mar 24, 1:10 AM). Terminal selection matters: one traveler reported no wait at Terminal E but longer lines at the crowded Terminal C (Tue Mar 24, 9:03 AM).
Arrive 1.5–2 hours early for domestic flights at DFW. Current conditions suggest this is more than sufficient for general security lines, and TSA PreCheck holders can plan on minimal delays. If you have flexibility, early morning departures (before 8 AM) appear to offer the fastest processing. Check which terminal your airline uses, as some experience heavier traffic than others.
