Checked today, status was Fingerprints: Under review,Background Check: Under review. Guess I will know something soon. My friend that sent his in at the same time, his status already says mailed, and its been 2 weeks! How crazy is that?

Its definitely listed, I just wasn't sure about the papers from the court.. I did not send those in..mailed my packet today so I guess we will see how it goes. I am sure they will tell me if they need additional documentation.

They will. If they send you a letter indicating they are needed don't waste any time in getting the document back as you only have 90 days to get them the required info or they can cancel your application.

Thanks, I will definitely do it asap if needed. Thanks for all the tips and info and appreciate the warm welcome!

You need to be sure to list the arrest on your application. It is also best if you can provide a copy of the final disposition from the court clerk where the case was finalized. This will help speed things along with your application. Failure to list it would be falsification of a document and they can deny your license and possibly charge you with falsification of a government document as well.

Thanks. The underlying cause was for no insurance. We had a rough few years financially, kid was sick with a chronic illness, lost house to foreclosure because of compounding medical bills etc.. Insurance had lapsed and I got caught. Not trying to pass it off as no big thing because any offense is serious, but none of it was for anything violent or drug or alcohol related or anything like that.

Hi all, new member to the forums. A coworker and I and his girlfriend all completed our CHL class today. Passed everything with flying colors and I will be mailing off my packet Monday. I had been a little concerned about the background check because of an arrest back in 2006 for driving with a suspended license, but its been cleared up and taken care of , so I think I am ok there. Anyway, hope to have my license soon. I have a question, I read somewhere on this forum that since i had an arrest, that I would need to get the records from the arresting agency and send them in with my packet. Is this true ? I mean the DPS already knows about it in their database (I paid the $4 for the public records search on myself).
