Re: CHL shows up in background check
Law enforcement is supposed to tell you when they check to see if you are a CHL holder. Is this correct? Then the question I pose is if you give that school district permission to do a background check aren't you also giving permission to their campus police (who are licensed LEO) to check if you have a CHL? Just a thought, cops work at all major school districts. Does a LEO agency have to tell you they accessed CHL info if you have already given them permission to do a background check?

Re: CHL shows up in background check
Should it show up in a background check? No!!! Can it show up in a background check?
Possibly. As far as I understand only law enforcement has access to these records even with consent of yourself to a background check but I could be wrong. You would be surprised what will come up in a background check. Credit score, relatives, medical and mental history. Credit card companies give out information on what you buy to businesses. They might not say what you buy but if you pay for a gun with a credit card it could show up EX. Bob's gun shop.
I know a few teachers who have CHLs. The thing is most live in a rural area and work in a rural school district where many teachers and principals have a CHL. The school board members are often politically leaning to the right. It would probably be more acceptable if a teacher had a CHL in that particular community.
Let’s just say I know someone who is very close to me and is a certified Texas school teacher and works for a public school district and is a CHL holder. When this person went to a job interview the topic never came up. If they find out would it affect your chances of getting a job as a school teacher? I would think so. I think many parents and school board members who are not fond of firearms would not approve of a chl holder teaching their kids.
All new Texas teachers are digitally finger printed on every finger and entered into The Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, or IAFIS. I assume the Texas Board of Education knows your fingerprints are already on file from your CHL if they are told that when they send the info to IAFIS?
Either way do not advertise that you are a CHL holder to anybody in the school district. People like to talk and then before you know it somebody knows you have a CHL who is in a position to hire you.
