How would a local private investigator obtain CHL information lawfully if it can only be searched for as the law is written and interpreted?

"Texas Concealed Handgun Search
This search will tell you if a person in question has a Texas CHL. It will only reveal YES or NO. No other information is provided. If the status of the CHL is suspended or revoked, the results are returned as NO.
Required: Full name, date of birth

Ok, this may clear some things up. The setting I was referring to in the original post was in fact a public school setting. I assume they can find this out by running the background check through the campus police. I would assume a CHL would show up for them as they have access to the same database as city, county, state and federal officials. Whether that is the correct or legal way to conduct a background check on a person or not is obviously up for debate. As someone on this thread mentioned, I would assume a lot of schools are trying to save money by doing this way, instead of the traditional background check.

Talking with a co-worker the other day who does background checks on certain individuals...and they mentioned that a Texas CHL will show up in a background check. I was always under the impression that DPS would only release this information to other law enforcement agencies. I have also recently seen private investigators offering to to a CHL check on individuals in question.

My concern on this would be applying for a job and being screened out due to having a CHL after they run a background check.
