Right to Request a Preliminary Criminal History Evaluation
听
In accordance with 19 Texas Administrative Code §227.1(d)(3), all applicants to the 51品茶约炮 Baptist University Educator Preparation Program (EPP) are informed of their right to request a Preliminary Criminal History Evaluation (PCHE) from the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This evaluation allows individuals to determine whether a prior criminal conviction or deferred adjudication may impact their eligibility for educator certification in Texas.
The TEA’s preliminary evaluation process is voluntary and confidential. Applicants who have concerns about their criminal history are strongly encouraged to complete the PCHE prior to formal admission into the program. Information about the process, required documentation, and associated fees is available on the TEA Preliminary Criminal History Evaluation webpage
