I am trying to switch careers and become an insurance adjuster. I just finished the Texas all lines adjuster course and am about to take the licensing test. My concern is that I have a criminal record. I have about 21 total items on my criminal record, though most of them are misdemeanors like marijuana possession, and maybe one open container in public. The most recent is from 6 years ago, and the longest was 15 years ago. Suffice to say, I was a stupid kid. My biggest concern is a theft over 500 from 2007 (that amount is not considered a felony in my state now, but it was then) in which I was with a friend when he decided to break into his neighbors house, and a felony intent distribute charge in 2014, in which I had a personal amount of heroin, but I screwed myself by lying and saying that I was bringing it to someone else. Since then i have been clean, and I have no recent charges, and am no longer on any probation. The felonies are 7 and 14 years old, and I have no misdemeanors newer than 6 years. Does anyone have experience and know how far the background check for the licensing department will go? Should I mention these , or will they not look back that far? I know neither of these charges bar me from applying, but they don’t look good. Can anyone with similar experience give me any insight on how to proceed?
