About this file

This document is a set of exhibits (J.3, J.4, and J.5) for a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Facilities Division contract opportunity. The exhibits are primarily qualification and background forms that potential contractors must complete, including a Contractor's Qualifications form (Exhibit J.3), a Non-Employee Background Questionnaire (Exhibit J.4), and a Non-Collusion Affidavit (Exhibit J.5). These forms require detailed information about a company's business structure, financial condition, personnel, current and completed projects, and individual employee background checks.

The forms seek comprehensive information to evaluate a contractor's suitability for working with TDCJ, including financial capacity, business history, project experience, and potential disqualifying personal background factors. The Non-Employee Background Questionnaire, in particular, includes extensive inquiries about criminal history, offender relationships, gang affiliations, and potential conflicts of interest. The Non-Collusion Affidavit requires the respondent to certify that they have not violated antitrust laws or engaged in collusive practices in developing their proposal. While the specific contract details are not provided in these exhibits, the forms suggest a rigorous screening process for contractors seeking to work with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

IMPORTANT

Read the definition of conviction in Question 17. When answering questions 15 through 17, do not include: 1) any violation of law committed before your 17th birthday if the final decision was made in juvenile court or under a youth offender law; 2) any conviction whose record was expunged under federal or state law; 3) minor traffic violations. DWI, DUI, Open Container, and Driving While License Suspended are not minor traffic violations and shall be listed.

FALSIFICATION POLICY

It is important that contract employee applicants provide accurate information in this questionnaire. Failure to list any criminal conviction or other important information, such as prior employment with the TDCJ or offender relationships, is considered falsification of the questionnaire and results in disqualification for contract employment access to TDCJ facilities for one year.

As a criminal justice agency, it is very important for the TDCJ to know if an applicant has a criminal record. In most cases, a criminal record does not disqualify you from access to TDCJ facilities. However, falsification of the questionnaire always disqualifies you, regardless of how well qualified you are otherwise.

What convictions shall be listed? All convictions handled in adult court shall be listed, no matter when or where they occurred. In Texas, if you are 17 years old or older, the case is always handled in adult court. If you are under 17, it still may be handled in adult court. As an exception, you are not required to list convictions for minor traffic violations. Examples of minor traffic violations are speeding, running stop signs, and no seat belts. Examples of crimes which are not minor traffic violations and shall be listed are DWI, DUI, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Assault with a Motor Vehicle, Reckless Driving, Open Container, and Driving While License is Suspended. Convictions that have been expunged under state or federal law do not have to be listed. Expunged means a judge signed an order directing all agencies with a record of the arrest and conviction destroy those records (this is not the same as a deferred adjudication, explained below).

What is a conviction? For TDCJ purposes, a conviction is (a) a finding of guilt by judge or jury and the assessment of punishment, whether confinement or fines; (b) community supervision (probation), including deferred adjudication; (c) a juvenile adjudication of delinquent conduct if the juvenile records are not sealed; and (d) an equivalent disposition of an offense under the laws of another state, federal law, or Uniform Code of Military Justice. The term does not include a pretrial diversion, which is an agreement between the defendant and prosecutor and occurs before a judicial finding, although a judge may approve of the defendant participating in the program. Pardons or reprieves do not eliminate a conviction. If you have a case handled by deferred adjudication, it shall be listed in your application, regardless of whether you think it is still on record.

Military Convictions. Convictions by court martial for criminal offenses shall also be listed.

Failure to Appear. If you were convicted of a routine traffic violation or other offense and did not pay the ticket on time or failed to appear to court, you may have been charged with and convicted of Failure to Appear. Failure to Appear is a separate crime and shall be listed.

Questions. If you have any questions concerning what shall be listed in this questionnaire, it is recommended you contact the Human Resources Division in Huntsville at (936) 437-3126 before you submit this questionnaire.

OFFENDER RELATIONSHIPS: TDCJ employees and contract employees with access to TDCJ facilities are prohibited from maintaining or developing a personal relationship with an offender who is not related to the employee. Prohibited relationships include those involving cohabitation, sexual misconduct, or actions that jeopardize or have the potential to jeopardize the security of the TDCJ.

This means employees and contract employees may not have personal contact or relationships with offenders currently incarcerated or on parole outside of their official duties if this contact or relationship would jeopardize or has the potential to jeopardize the security of the TDCJ. Prohibited contact includes living together, writing letters or notes, telephone contact, visitation, and depositing funds into an offender’s Inmate Trust Fund (ITF) account. If an employee or contract employee was once married to an offender or had a child together with an offender, employee contact with the offender may be limited to that which is ordered by the court. As a condition of contract employment with the TDCJ, contract employees with prohibited relationships shall sever those relationships. Sever means to cease any and all cohabitation, intimate encounters, verbal or written communications, visitation, or other prohibited contact.

Continuation of a prohibited relationship after contract employment with the TDCJ may result in denial of access to TDCJ facilities, if the TDCJ determines the relationship jeopardizes or has the potential to jeopardize the security of the TDCJ.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: All applicants, who may have contact with offenders, are ineligible for employment if they have committed any activity described in questions 12b, 12c, or 12d.

CERTIFICATION: I certify that I have read and understand the above explanation of the TDCJ Policy on Falsification and Offender Relationships. I further certify that my answers on this questionnaire are true, complete, and correct to the best of my knowledge and I have not evaded or omitted any part thereof to reflect an untruth. I understand falsification constitutes grounds for refusing or terminating access to TDCJ units and departments.

DUTY TO DISCLOSE: I hereby acknowledge that I have a duty to disclose any sexual misconduct during the term of my employment. I further acknowledge that I have a duty to disclose any misconduct on my part while working for previous employers.
