Anyone get a message stating...

"At this time a technician is needing to verify that anything found in the background investigation is non disqualifying"

I have nothing on my record, no tickets (over 10 years), military...

Just wondering if this is a standard response with a background check or what it may mean.

I am from out of the state but have been in Texas again for over 6 years.

I guess I am just impatient and need to wait...kind of like a kid who really wants a new toy.

Good luck to all.

I'll just hazard a guess, based upon my experience.

Old old Court records, maybe other records, etc often contain a first and last, but no middle name; older records weren't available electronically.

During my background check they came up with people in States I've never even been to, and about 8 more people in the area surrounding Houston, with my first and last names (of all ages). (And I don't have a real common name, I didn't think) One clerk in a County/State I had never been to wanted $1,000 to do a manual search of paper records and send copies .... I got my license in the mail just prior to having to pay that; the DPS figured it out or got verification from them without me needing to.

They had to verify none of those people were me' against what I sent showing from clerks that I had no criminal record anywhere.

I mean, the police gave me and a buddy a ride to the police station in the early 1960s for hunting frogs outside the city with BB guns and called our parents, so his mom didn't get to cook frog legs that night, but it wasn't an "Unauthorized Carrying a Weapon" charge, our mommas picked us up at the station and told us to use bow and arrows the next day instead of BB guns, so the police wouldn't think they were real guns.

(The next day, we used bows and arrows and my buddy's mom made turtle soup AND frog legs; we went to the bayou instead of the field ... less visible from the road)


But, the background check is thorough enough that they needed to know we weren't criminals; just hungry. And, that the other people they found named with my first and last names weren't me.

Now there's a thought! Are there ways that a less than scrupulous county administration might increase the likelihood of their records generating hits on background checks into folks with no connection to the county, so as to create a revenue stream from doing the searches? For example, by routinely failing to record (or enter into whatever databases) middle names or initials?

I don't think it's intentional.
Clerks didn't used to have to be real literate.
When doing genealogy; I found my uncle's birth records and he and my grandparents names were mis-spelled. I immediately e-mailed all our family asking if he was still welcome at our annual family reunion, since his brother, my dad was correct in the records

Well, I recieved a e-mail from the nice gal at the customer service department and when I asked if this was a standard response she very simply said..."It is standard". Still makes me nervous about why, I read the complete law book and made sure that I met all of the requirements before I entered into this whole deal. I just have to laugh a bit because I have been in the military for 19 years and have had security clearances.

I need to just relax and be patience but I have not been this excited about getting something in years. Guess I am getting old.



I realize now that I really hate waiting for something.

They have updated the web site to check your status.

It says its in the mail.

The background check takes longer if in the military and moved around.

I will report when I have plastic but Monday will be 60 days.
