Will a Lien Stop my CHL

[PsychDiver]

In the process of applying for a home loan I discovered that I had a lien on some unemployment taxes ($11.54) that had not been paid. The payment was made and I have a letter from the Texas Workforce Commission stating such but the release of lien has to be filed at the local court house. I will mail it tomorrow because I can't take time off work to drive it into Houston. It is not under my social security number but my Federal ID # for the business. I am on day 83 in the waiting process. I work in Harris county and live in Galveston County. If the background check happens before the court gets the letter or it does not get recorded before the background check happens could this stop the approval of the license?

It might, but since you have the letter stating that it has been paid you should be ok, if dps sends you a letter you could probably fax them the proof of pmt and be ok with that

You will be fine. DPS may send a rejection letter based upon taxes, but that's not guaranteed since the business has its own tax number. If you do get a rejection, all you have to do is send in a copy of your proof that the taxes were paid and you'll be fine.
