FBI Fingerprint-Based Criminal History Background Check for Guardianship Cases
With the passing of HB 4123, on June 13, 2023, the JBCC is prohibited from performing fingerprint-based criminal history background checks on individuals seeking guardianship appointment. Therefore, JBCC is unable to assist any proposed guardians for fingerprint-based background checks as they no longer have access to that information.
Fort Bend County has now been granted an ORI number by the FBI. All applicants will be provided a Service Code and instructions on how to be fingerprinted upon filing of the application.
