Problem is, I am boarding a flight on Wed morning with my husband from DFW to LAS. Under normal processing, 3 weeks would have been enough time to get my official card in the mail. But Texas is undergoing a change in the way they do their licenses so processing times were being delayed. I still won’t have it by Wednesday.
The only forms of picture ID that I have are my work ID badge, and Sam’s card. I will also have with me a photocopy of the lost license (thanks to my HR department), my birth certificate, my SS card and my marriage license!
How much more time do you think I will need to allow at the checkpoint Wed morning? Our flight departs at 910 am and I plan on getting to the airport around 630am. We are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and I don’t want anything to ruin our trip!!
Thanks for the help,

You sound like you've got some backup documentation so that shouldn't be an issue. I would recommend getting there 2 hours before your flight takes off because you don't know how much trouble TSA might give you.
