Time to Get Finger Printed
Time to Get Finger Printed
It will not be long before all Texas physicians will be required to be finger printed in order to renew their license. If you have renewed your license you know that one of the questions is whether you have been arrested, convicted, or someone involved in criminal activity. Shocking as it is, some people lie on this question. Soon, the question will be verified with a finger print check.
As of October 1st, all applicants for a license have been checked. The method for people within the state has been to go to a private contractor that has contracted with the Board. The applicant pays $48 dollars and has their finger prints scanned. Those prints are run through both the Texas Department of Public Safety and the FBI data bases. The information then gets reported back to the Board in a few weeks.
Don’t be surprised once this is a requirement for renewing your license.
