Applicant Fingerprint processing delay notice:
TXDPS has been notified by the FBI that all Fingerprint based background checks will be temporarily suspended beginning April 28, 2010 - May 3, 2010. The FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) will be working with the U.S. Census Bureau to process more than 484,000 Fingerprints for Census Bureau workers. Beginning May 4, 2010, TXDPS and the FBI will resume processing applicant fingerprints. It is important to note that the backlog of processing the fingerprint based background checks could take an additional two weeks. All applications will processed as quickly as possible once the FBI service returns to normal. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Come on now. The census is mandated by the constitution....

On topic, I hope this doesn't turn out like when the DPS was lagging in processing a couple years ago.

I just registered online for the instructor class and received my packet today. Anyone know if there is a backlog now or are they just anticipating this backlog for late April/early May? I think I need to get everything back to DPS before April 30 to be eligible for this summer's class. But not sure when the background check must be completed (just need to have my stuff turned in by then I think).
