This is a waiver allowing DPS to send the background info to the Authorized Agency. In the case of CHL, it goes to DPS. It does not go to your employer. This is a generic waiver for ALL purposes that fingerprints are taken. CHL is only one of the many reasons a person can be fingerprinted at MorphoTrust. Most commonly, fingerprints are taken for a background check for someone applying for a job. Hence, the generic language.SigP938extreme wrote:What about morpho trust finger print background chk
There was an area where I had to input my employer info.
"I authorize the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to access Texas and Federal criminal history record information that pertains to me and disseminate that information to the designated Authorized Agency or Qualified Entity with which I am or am seeking to be employed or to serve as a volunteer, through the DPS Fingerprint-based Applicant Clearinghouse of Texas and as authorized by Texas Government Code Chapter 411 and any other applicable state or federal statute or policy.

Re: Background checks sent to employers?
I am not sure what you thought you read, but your CHL background check is never sent to your employer. Do to the Privacy of Information Act, your employer cannot find out that you have even applied for a CHL - that is, unless you work for a law enforcement agency.
Perhaps you misread the "Release of Records" affidavit. That is for you to authorize DPS to perform a background check for CHL purposes, but not for them to release those records to anyone else.
