submissions must be for User Agency's criminal justice applicants only. User Agency must have a
Clearinghouse account to retrieve Livescan system responses and for Rap Back. User Agency must

federal laws, rules, regulations, or policies are violated. DPS may reinstate service following
suspension upon receipt of satisfactory assurances that User Agency has corrected all violations and
has taken measures to prevent future violations. Failure to correct any violations could result in the
discontinuation of service. User Agency is responsible for all costs for reconnection of service. DPS
