Quick Question About Fingerprinting

#1

Post by tms119 »

Hi all,

So I am taking my CHL class tomorrow. I will not be doing the online registration for the CHL until January due to the fact that I will be moving to a new home at that point. My question though is about fingerprinting. I work in a school district so I had to be fingerprinted. My question is if DPS will have my fingerprints on record of if I have to get them redone again. If so that'll be fine, I'm willing to drop the 10 bucks. (Illinois charged 50 bucks for my fingerprints and I had to do that 4 separate occasions for being in the education field).

By the way I'm new here, and new to Texas. Came from Illinois back in June where the snow is deep and corruption is even deeper lol. Glad to be a part of this wonderful state and the people I have met so far have been awesome.

Anyways, thanks for any help or advice anyone can throw my way!

IANAL
I am not 100% somone correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe you will still need to be fingerprinted.
PS I worked at a bank before which my prints were put into the FBI database and I still needed to get new ones done.
But this should be gone over in class
Again I am not positive

You definitely need to get them done again.

Welcome to Texas! My daughter lives in Morton Grove and I can't wait for her to get out.

Yes... You need to be fingerprinted again. Sorry!

Alrighty, thanks all for the welcome!

And yea you guys look to be right. Oh well, still way cheaper than it would have been in Illinois.

And Jumping Frog, no worries, my grandpa helped guide me in the proper direction of voting, haha.

P.S.

Took the course and got a 250/250 yay! Now just gotta wait a month before I move before I send in my application.

Thanks again for all the replies :-)
