How do I get a Free background check on myself ,I may have an outstanding ticket?


I would like to check on my police warrents for a background check for a job

FREE is tough and probably impossible. You can go down to the DPS and get a copy of your record for $10, but I'm not sure that gets all warrants. You could call all the counties and cities you think you may have warrants in and ask (that would be free).

Or you can pay like $30 to one of the online services that check everything.

I'm not sure traffic warrants impact a job, unless driving is required. Usually companies are looking for felonies.

Be cautious. If you go anywhere there are uniformed officers, you could get arrested on the spot, at least they can and sometimes doe that here in TX.

The only office that MAY have them all is the DPS. If you call Austin or Travis County, you'll only get their info.

If you know you have a ticket or a warrent just go take care of it. There going to be more on your side if you walk in and get it over and done with than if you keep running. The penalties get higher too. Besides you don't have a job yet, so if you need to serve you won't miss any days! :0)

Do you have a friend or relative who is a police officer?

call the police station
give them your info and ask them to look it up
if you do have outstanding warrants, they'll let you know.

well it won't be free but you can do it on the internet for like 20 bucks or so.

You can go to the social security office and request to see your file.

Go down to the police station, and ask them the same question your asking us! They can look it up on the computer if you have any outstanding warrants, tickets, etc. on you in all of the states.
Good Luck!! Linda H.

Let me suggdst a simple and less anxiety-ridden way of accomplishing your task. Make a phone call to your local police agency and ask to speak to someone in 'warrants'. Explain your situation and that you're not sure if a warrant might have been issued in your name. Be prepared to provide them with your full name (first, middle, last) and date of birth. That will yield the results you seek and if you have a warrant, the next question to ask is, "Can I come in and sign up for a court date?" Ask how to take care of it without being booked. It's done all the time. The possible exception would be that if your potential warrant is for something far more serious than a traffic violation, and perhaps a felony. But there's smart way of taking care of those too. By consulting with an attorney, after learning you have a serious warrant, he can arrange a self-surrender, or quick booking that is less intrusive to your whole life, than waiting to be found out by the local police at a time when you least expect it.

ASK A FRIEND WHO RUNS A BUSINESS,
TO RUN THE CHECK FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY WON'T QUESTION HIM,
IF IT'S EMPLOYMENT CONNCERNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
