FAQ
Depending on where you live, there may be ways to conceal your criminal record from background checks, such as through expungement or sealing. These processes and eligibility requirements vary by jurisdiction, so it is best to contact an expungement or sealing attorney in your state to see your eligibility.
An employer's use of an applicant's criminal histo- ry in making employment decisions may, in some instances, constitute employment discrimination if not handled properly by a prospective employer.
Direct evidence of discrimination is usually found where an employer admits to the employee or someone else, verbally or in writing, that their intent or motive is to take an Adverse Employment Action (described above) against an employee because the employee is a member of a Protected Class.
Evidence in a discrimination case in California typically includes: emails, text messages, recordings, disciplinary forms, termination documents, or a copy of your employment contract if one exists. If you're like most Californians, you spend an inordinate amount of time at work.
Some states, however, follow the seven-year rule. For example, Texas does not allow reporting of criminal convictions more than seven years after disposition, release or parole. In Texas, the seven-year restriction does not apply to applicants to jobs with an annual salary of $75,000 or more. Permission – Important!
The Seven Year Rule So if you are arrested and the charges are dismissed, the consumer reporting agency is not supposed to report the arrest if the arrest is over seven years old. However, if the arrest results in a conviction (a finding of guilt) then the agency can report the information forever.
Texas law provides some protections to job applicants by prohibiting reports conducted by consumer reporting agencies to include criminal history information older than 7 years in their reports. The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act provides similar protections. However, there are some exceptions to this “7-year” rule.
The Seven-Year Rule for Criminal Background Checks in Texas ing to 15 U.S. Code § 1681c, when you have a criminal arrest on your record, reporting agencies are prohibited from including it on the report if the arrest was more than seven years old. This does not apply to convictions.
Felonies do not go away after 7 years in Texas. Felonies stay permanently on records for background checks in Texas. Even a dismissed felony with no grand jury indictment will appear permanently on a background check unless it is dismissed.
