The basic rule for employment background checks. The basic rule for criminal background checks in Texas is an employer using a credit reporting agency may go back seven years in a criminal background check. However, there are several exceptions to this rule. Under Texas law, most applicants cut off at a seven year check unless the salary exceeds $75,000.
The FCRA does restrict reporting of non-convictions to 7 years, unless the salary of the position exceeds $75,000. Donât ask me where they came up with this number. Truthfully, a criminal background check should only be limited by two things: How far back the court records go; and/or. Federal or state law restrictions for reporting criminal convictions for employment purposes.
