Q: How long to wait for a response after a background check in Texas?
I recently underwent a background check for a job, and the manager mentioned they would get back to me. I reached out for an update a week ago, but they only said they would contact me. How long should I reasonably expect to wait for a response regarding the background check completion?
A: A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. If it's a very basic background check, maybe a week or two - credit, criminal, motor vehicle. If it's more complex (information outside your state, transcripts or other information from schools, inquiries involving responses from individuals, etc.) it could be longer. Don't press them - that could be potentially harmful to them considering you. Good luck
