QUESTION

Will my DUI in CA reflect my background check in TX?

Asked on Apr 02nd, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Texas
More details to this question:
I got a DUI in California almost 4 years ago. I am currently on probation, but have paid all my fines except my office of revenue and recovery, which I am up to date with. I am scared I will be denied a job in TX over a mistake I made years ago in CA.

Maybe, simply put, it depends on who does the search and where they look. If you have a TX drivers license there is some chance that it doesn't appear on your TX driver record (it definitely does in CA), informal probation isn't something that is generally available. If your arrest was publicized (some places in CA print the names, and occasionally the photos, of people arrested for DUI) you may be available in a simple Google search, obviously this is in the public record where you lived in CA, if they hire someone to go there it may be found.

If your employer checks with CA they will find the DUI.

Will my DUI in CA reflect my background check in TX? Of course. It is a crime, and all crimes are on your record at DOJ.
