The Texas 80th Legislature passed Senate Bill 9, which requires both the Texas Education Agency and employing school districts to review a national criminal history record of all non-certified employees hired on or after January 1, 2008.
A non-certified employee must be fingerprinted before hired unless the applicant is already in the DPS clearinghouse used by the Texas Education Agency.
The school district will submit required data to the Texas Education Agency who will electronically send the school an authorization form (FASTPass) for the applicant.
The applicant will then go online to schedule an appointment with the DPS digital fingerprint vendor, L-1 Identity Solutions. A list of locations will be provided. www.iisfingerprint.com
The fee for fingerprinting is $52.20, which will be paid when you schedule your appointment with L-1. The fee must be paid with a credit card or one-time debit card that can be purchased from any bank.
