Getting excited in Travis County!

They got my app three days before yours (we took our class the same day), so I ought not be far behind you.

Hoping!

Spoke with a very nice lady who told me my application was just completed and being sent out to be printed. She said I should have it in a couple of weeks.

In realtime, my fingerprint shows up HUGE on a computer monitor at the print station. One finger at a time, flat-down and rolled, it scanned my fingerprints, does some CSI looking red-pattern-y stuff, and determines whether it's a good print or not. Anyway, when all is said and done, the very very helpful CSPD clerk inserts my two new print cards into a printer and prints out SHAAAAARP perfect fingerprints onto the cards.

In my class we were told you did not need to go back further than 10 tears, well apparently that has changed.



I always thought my fingerprints would be kicked back

Are you sure you put 1997 and didn't put 2007 by mistake? Did you put your employers address down?

They (the DPS) only need your addresses and employers covering the last 5 years. Call them up and ask why they think they need 10 years...which sounds suspiciously like the 'no convictions' time period. It could be that a new 'temp' has goofed.

This doesn't make sense. GC §411.174 (9) (b) states you are only required to list your address for residence and business for the preceding 5 years. I moved here in 1998 and only listed one address (same since moving here) and my current work address (same company) I had for the preceding 5 years. No problem with mine.

I would contact them back and ask why they are requiring more than what the statute requires since they meet the requirements per your post.
