Not necessarily. I fit your out-of-state description as well and my background took one day according to their website and a phone call I made to DPS, which finally got my application noticed in the first place. I'm curious about the process DPS uses as well.amckee wrote:What happens if you've lived out of state in the past 5 years? I've lived in 2 other states. If they have to do that level of detail in the other states, I'll probably be waiting forever...jbarn wrote:DPS does their own backgrounds, save for the FBI fingerprint check. No local agencies are involved.
DPS sends an employee into each county where you have lived for the last 5 years (5 I believe) to conduct an in person background. They check the county and district criminal clerk and District civil clerk. The tax assessor is also queried.
