An application for issuance of a new pawnshop employee license
must be submitted in a format prescribed by the OCCC at the date of
filing and in accordance with the OCCC's instructions. All questions
must be answered. Appropriate fees must be filed with the application,
and the application must include the following:
(1) Application.
(A) Identifying information. The application must contain
complete and accurate information identifying the applicant.
(B) Residence information. The application must report
a continuous five-year residential history.
(C) Employment information. The application must report
a continuous five-year employment history. If an applicant was unemployed
for a period of time or was enrolled as a student during a period
of time, the application must state that fact.
(D) Background and history. Any response about an employee's
background and history must be true, correct, and complete. Additional
information as required must be provided with the application.
(E) Signature. The applicant must sign and affirm the
application as true, correct, and complete.
(2) Fingerprints.
(A) A complete set of legible fingerprints must be
provided for each applicant. An individual who has previously been
licensed by the OCCC is generally not required to provide fingerprints.
The commissioner may require fingerprints of an employee if the commissioner
believes that the individual has not been fingerprinted for a significant
amount of time and believes a new set of fingerprints might provide
additional information about the individual's criminal background.
All fingerprints should be submitted in a format prescribed by the
OCCC and approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
(B) For individuals who have previously submitted fingerprints
to another state agency (e.g., Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation),
fingerprints are still required to be submitted under Texas Finance
Code, §14.152. Fingerprints cannot be disclosed to others, except
as authorized by Texas Government Code, §560.002.
