In theory yes, but the converse would mean that an applicant could be perpetually rejected if they had fingers that could not be printed to the standards required by the DPS or FBI. Plus, the prints have to be taken by a LEO or someone certified to "roll prints" and there's not much chance they would intentionally roll bad prints. If caught, they could be prosecuted, not to mention lose their job.

If you send in prints 3 times to DPS, and they fail, you have to retake the entire class and shooting portion. So basically, you pass "Go," pay $200 dollars and start over.

This is incorrect. In fact, the FBI must accept the prints on the third set, and I believe DPS makes that their policy also.

I don't recall anyone telling me that the rejection letter gave any specifics. The FPD Sgt. I have do prints for my class will give the applicant a letter stating that multiple attempts have been made to get better prints, but that they were no better. This seems to have worked for people with various problems.
