When I contacted TALCB about background checks, the TALCB staff stated the following for license applic/renewal:

Effective 1/1/2017, appraisers will be required to provide fingerprints for the background check.

Many Appraiser clients are asking for background checks. Most clients want you to use their background check service and do not want to share background checks.

I've asked the TALCB if their license appl/renewal background check can be used by the Appraiser's clients. If the Appraiser has a license, that implies the Appraiser has the TALCB required background check. This would eliminate the need and expense for the Appraiser to obtain a separate background check for each client. The TALCB response was:

The background check will be for our (TALCB) use only.

Is there anyone on this forum who has access to the TALCB staff who could talk to them and see if he can convince TALCB to allow their background check to be reused by all Tx Appraiser clients ? This is common sense.

muchas gracias.

It is illegal to share other people's social security numbers.

AMCs are pulling your leg. Tell them no and get better clients.

I've already contacted TALCB on this issue and voiced my opinion. They ignored me.

If enough Appraisers (or the right people) raised this issue, then TALCB may reconsider.

The TALCB did consider my comments on the new TALCB web site and made a few mod's to the web site.
 
You voiced your opinion to the TALCB not the TALCB board. You do realize that there is a difference between the TALCB and the TALCB Board?
