To overcome these problems, DPS released for bid a Request For Proposal (RFP) to deploy applicant fingerprinting service centers throughout Texas. The current methodology requiring submission of paper fingerprint cards, although effective, is centralized and may take several days to process. Texas law authorizes fingerprint-based criminal history checks for designated volunteers and employment or licensing applicants in a wide variety of areas such as child care providers, teachers, security and armed guards, security system contractors, and a host of others. FAST Program Acknowledgments, Complaints, Suggestions, and Questions please email ADB Support.

Employers, licensing agencies, applicants and public safety depend on it. It is vitally important for fingerprint-based applicant criminal history checks to be processed quickly, accurately and with as little hassle as possible.
