It wasn't listed on the non-resident checklist in the application packet I received from DPS but don't let that fool you. If you don't provide it you'll get a very polite letter saying they cannot process your application. No - your driver license number on the application documents is not sufficient.

Note: This is in addition to the "Out of State Contacts for Background Investigation" document (which is on the checklist, and which I did provide.)

I hope this information is of some help to other non-resident applicants.

Renewals only require a single card, the FBI card.

I received my Renewal Packet in October and it contained two fingerprint cards! Both had Texas Seals on them but one was blue printing and the other was black printing.

Also, make sure you have included 5 full years of employment history. If you were unemployed for a period of time, make a note as to why. You were looking for work, in school, disabled, trying to find yourself, whatever, just as long as you put something down. Well, something true, and believeable!
