DPS sends your Fingerprints to the FBI, who performs the national NCIC check. Any crimes in other states are reported back to DPS.Mrjayjay00 wrote:Just wondering if anyone knew exactly what all they check for when they do a background for CHL. Never have really known how or what they all check for this just wondering. I think it would be good to know what all the state checked and the FBI or whomever else may check. I know that when they run you DL for local police it usually just shows any outstanding warrants and other criteria in relation. So if anyone could post correct or exact answers and not probably's or maybe's that would be great .

DPS runs a Texas TCIC check. They also check the county clerk of every county in which you have lived.
They do not just search 5 years back, they search for ANY records.
Federal Law prevents a pre-employment background check from reporting crimes over 7 years old.
