When requesting a Preliminary Criminal History Evaluation (PCHE), please keep in mind that histories are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by considering several factors. Having a criminal history may make an individual ineligible for certification. If you believe you may be ineligible for certification due to a conviction or deferred adjudication for a felony or misdemeanor offense, you have the right to request a PCHE from TEA. Please review the information about criminal history checks for applicants provided on TEA’s website.
