DPS sends an employee into each county where you have lived for the last 5 years (5 I believe) to conduct an in person background. They check the county and district criminal clerk and District civil clerk. The tax assessor is also queried.
What happens if you've lived out of state in the past 5 years? I've lived in 2 other states. If they have to do that level of detail in the other states, I'll probably be waiting forever...
