    Default Will a Citation for Assault Show Up on a Background Check if So, How Soon

    My question involves a background check in the State of: Tx.

    My husband recently received a citation for assault and I needed to know if this will show up in a background check? I'm asking because we're going through a custody battle with his ex and we have a final hearing here in a couple months and I need to know if she'll be able to find this citation. If it will show up in a background check then how long before it is in the system? Is it possible it won't be processed and is there a way to hold it up so to speak? Also, since he just got it, any suggestions on how to proceed with the ticket would be appreciated. How should he plea if he wants to get it expunged later on???

    Thanks everyone...

    It might. It might not. It depends on the background check. Not all background checks are created equal.

    There's no way for us to tell how soon it might appear since we have no way of knowing how up to date the system records are.

    Let me clarify. There is no single definition of a background check. It can be as simple as an employer contacting previous employers to confirm dates of employment, or as thorough as an FBI or CIA clearance check, or anything in between.

    Whether any particular piece of information shows on any given background check depends on what information is requested. You could do 16 different background checks on the same individual, and get 16 different results, depending on what information was looked at. It will NOT necessarily be the same for all checks. As an example, I did not do education verifications on my receptionist candidates and my assistant controller candidates, but I did on my R&D director candidates. On the other hand, I didn't do a criminal background check on my R&D director candidates, but I did on my assistant controller candidates. I didn't do an RVM check on any of the three, but I did on my shipping manager candidates. Even within one type of check there can be different responses. Employer A might ask for all arrests and conviction; Employer B might ask for only convictions; employer C might ask for only felony convictions. There's just no way to say what any given check might reveal unless you know EXACTLY what questions were asked.
