I agree with the arrest part and all of the above. I was simply responding to the OP.WildBill wrote:I have read on this forum that if you were booked and fingerprinted then you had to report it as an arrest. The DPS site answers the question about arrests, but does not define arrest:tomtexan wrote:I wouldn't bother with it myself. Aren't traffic tickets such as speeding a Class C misdemeanor? A person is not required to list those. When I applied for my license, I understood that only arrest and Class A and/or B misdemeanors had to be listed. The OP stated that he was not arrested for the MPI. Why would it be any different?
However, I am not a lawyer.
18. Am I required to list all arrests on my application, even if the cases were dismissed or if I was found not guilty?
Yes. Applicants are required to report all arrests in order to ensure the background checks can be conducted timely. The application should include the year, the offense, the location and the final disposition. Copies of the dispositions will assist in the timely processing your application. Applicants should also include information on cases that resulted in probation or deferred adjudication. Failure to provide any requested documentation could result in the termination of an application.
