Did you send the official disposition or "judgement and sentencing" document? I had a similar dismissed case - it did not show on most background checks - and I got a notarized document from the Clerk of Court which showed it was dismissed. My BGC went just as fast as the group I applied with (about 9 days). On the other hand a friend who had applied 6 months earlier had a similar situation, and he did not supply the official disposition. His BGC ended up taking nearly 7 weeks because DPS had to order the disposition themselves.2crazy2carry wrote:...
I now think that since the arrest and charges were dismissed that I should just have omitted it from the app.

Nothing I can do but wait for them to figure out what happened and get the app passed
Per their FAQ:
"If your criminal history background check indicates an arrest but does not reveal a final disposition, DPS might have to check local records which is time consuming and could significantly delay your application. Always indicate the year, the offense, the location, the outcome and preferably the level of the offense, such as felony, Class B misdemeanor, etc. Attaching copies of the dispositions will help DPS process your application more quickly."
So long story short, it may take longer but eventually they'll get the documentation and your BGC will be completed. Hang in there!
