What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Police Department Personal History Statement is an official governmental document required as part of the hiring process for Peace Officer and Telecommunicator positions within the DART Police Department in Texas. The form collects extensive personal background information across 12 sections, including personal identification, family and references, education, residential history, employment history, military service, financial status, legal history, drug use, motor vehicle records, social media presence, and DART acquaintances, all of which are used to conduct a thorough background investigation to determine an applicant's suitability for employment. Because this is a governmental document, all responses must be truthful and complete, as deliberate omissions or misstatements can result in disqualification or criminal consequences. Today, applicants can fill out this complex, multi-section form quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

16 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Ensures Exactly One Position Is Selected (Peace Officer or Telecommunicator)

Validates that the applicant has selected one and only one position — either Peace Officer or Telecommunicator — on both the cover page and the TCOLE section. Selecting both or neither creates an ambiguous application that cannot be properly routed or evaluated. If validation fails, the form should be flagged as incomplete and the applicant prompted to select exactly one position before submission.

Validates Social Security Number Format

Checks that the Social Security Number (SSN) entered in Section 1 follows the standard U.S. format of nine digits, typically formatted as XXX-XX-XXXX, with no letters or special characters other than hyphens. The SSN is a critical identifier used throughout the background investigation process, and an incorrectly formatted or incomplete SSN can delay or invalidate the investigation. If the format is invalid or the field is blank, the form must be rejected and the applicant notified to provide a correctly formatted SSN.

Validates Date of Birth Is a Real, Past Date in Correct Format

Confirms that the Date of Birth field in Section 1 contains a valid calendar date in MM/DD/YYYY format, that the date is not in the future, and that the resulting age is consistent with eligibility for law enforcement employment (typically at least 18–21 years old). An invalid or future date of birth would indicate a data entry error or potential falsification. If validation fails, the form should be flagged and the applicant required to correct the entry.

Ensures Ability-to-Perform-Duties Explanation Is Provided When 'Yes' Is Selected

Checks that if the applicant selects 'Yes' to indicate there are reasons or circumstances that would prevent them from fully performing the duties of the selected position, the explanation field is not left blank. This conditional requirement is critical because the explanation provides DART Police Department with the information needed to evaluate whether the limitation is accommodable or disqualifying. If 'Yes' is checked but no explanation is provided, the form should be flagged as incomplete and submission blocked until the explanation is filled in.

Verifies All Three Authorization Statement Initials Are Provided

Validates that all three initials fields on the authorization and acknowledgment statements on Page 1 have been completed by the applicant. These initials serve as the applicant's acknowledgment of the investigation authorization, the ownership of the document, and the completeness requirement — all of which carry legal significance. Missing any one of the three initials renders the authorization incomplete, and the form should not be accepted for processing.

Validates Driver License Number Format and Expiration Date Consistency

Checks that the Driver License Number in Section 1 is non-empty and consistent with the format used by the indicated issuing state (e.g., Texas DL numbers follow a specific alphanumeric pattern), and that the expiration date is a valid future or recent date in MM/DD/YYYY format. A valid, unexpired driver's license is required for employment as a peace officer or telecommunicator, and discrepancies between the license number, state, and expiration date may indicate an error or falsification. If the license is expired or the format is invalid, the form should be flagged for review.

And 10 more checks
  • Ensures Minimum of Seven References Are Provided in Section 2
  • Checks That References Are Not Relatives, Supervisors, or Others Listed Elsewhere on the Form
  • Validates Residence History Covers Full Ten-Year Period Without Gaps
  • Ensures Employment History Covers Full Ten-Year Period and Accounts for All Unemployment Gaps
  • Validates That 'Yes' Answers to Legal/Criminal History Questions Include Required Explanations
  • Validates That Drug Use Disclosure Is Internally Consistent
  • Ensures Current Vehicle Insurance Policy Is Not Expired
  • Validates TCOLE PID Number Is Provided Only When Applicant Claims Prior Licensure
  • Ensures All Page Initials Are Completed Throughout the Form
  • Validates That Divorce Date Is After Marriage Date for Former Spouses

  2.

  4. Complete Sections 3 through 5 by listing all high schools, colleges, and trade/vocational schools attended along with any academic disciplinary history; all residences and housemates from the past 10 years or since age 17; and a full chronological employment history for the past 10 years including all jobs, periods of unemployment, and answers to workplace conduct questions (Questions 18–28).
  5.

  6.

Common Mistakes in Completing DART PD Personal History Statement

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Omitting aliases, nicknames, or maiden names
Applicants frequently forget to list all names they have ever been known by, including nicknames, maiden names, hyphenated names, or names used in other countries. Background investigators search records under every name provided, so omitting a name can cause records to be missed or, worse, appear as a deliberate concealment. This is one of the most common reasons applications are flagged for dishonesty. List every name you have ever used, no matter how informal or brief the usage, including names used on social media. Tools like Instafill.ai can prompt you to review all name fields before submission to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Failing to initial every page as required
The form explicitly requires applicants to initial the bottom of every single page (35 pages total) to confirm the information on that page is complete and accurate. Many applicants miss pages, especially in the middle of the document, because they are focused on answering questions and forget the initials requirement. An incomplete set of page initials can be treated as an incomplete application and result in automatic disqualification. Before submitting, go back through every page and confirm your initials appear at the bottom.
Leaving gaps in the 10-year employment history
The form requires ALL jobs, including part-time, temporary, self-employment, volunteer work, and periods of unemployment exceeding 30 days. Applicants commonly skip short-term or informal jobs, freelance work, or periods between jobs, creating unexplained gaps in their timeline. Background investigators will notice these gaps and may interpret them as deliberate omissions, which is a leading cause of disqualification. Account for every period of time, and use the 'Period of Unemployment' entries with the appropriate reason checked (student, between jobs, travel, etc.) to fill any gaps.
Providing incomplete or inaccurate addresses throughout the form
The instructions explicitly state that ALL addresses must be complete, including street type (Street, Drive, Road), directional markers (East, West), and apartment or unit numbers, and that errors will not be viewed favorably. Applicants frequently enter partial addresses, omit apartment numbers, use P.O. Boxes for residence addresses (which is prohibited), or fail to verify addresses for family members, references, and former employers. Incomplete addresses delay or derail the background investigation. Personally verify every address before entering it, and never use a P.O. Box for a residential address. Instafill.ai can help validate address formats and flag incomplete entries automatically.
Misunderstanding the 'Undetected Acts' questions and answering dishonestly or incompletely
Sections 8's 'Undetected Acts' questions (questions 15–51) ask about acts that were never reported, arrested for, or charged — meaning applicants cannot rely on 'I was never caught' as a reason to answer 'No.' Many applicants misread these questions as asking only about arrests or convictions, and answer 'No' when they should answer 'Yes.' The form is a governmental document, and lying on it carries criminal consequences. Read each question carefully: it asks whether you committed the act, not whether you were caught. Answer honestly, as the form notes that prior misconduct is usually not automatically disqualifying, but deliberate omissions are.
Failing to list all law enforcement agency applications in the past 10 years
The form requires applicants to list ALL law enforcement agencies they have applied to in the last ten years, regardless of the outcome — including applications where they withdrew, were disqualified, failed a step, or were simply placed on a list. Applicants often omit agencies where they did not advance far in the process or where the outcome was unfavorable, assuming it won't be discovered. Background investigators routinely cross-check with other agencies, and omissions are treated as dishonesty. List every agency, complete all status checkboxes accurately, and provide disqualification reasons where applicable.
Providing too few or ineligible references
The form requires 7 to 10 references who know the applicant well, but explicitly prohibits listing relatives, supervisors, co-workers, housemates, or anyone already listed elsewhere on the form. Applicants frequently submit fewer than 7 references, list relatives or current supervisors, or list people who appear elsewhere in the form (such as former employers). This results in an incomplete application. Prepare a list of 7–10 qualifying references — such as social friends, former classmates, community members, or military acquaintances — before starting the form, and verify their current contact information and addresses.
Entering incomplete or vague explanations for 'Yes' answers
Throughout the form, many questions require a detailed explanation if answered 'Yes' (e.g., disciplinary actions at work, financial issues, legal incidents, military discipline). Applicants often write vague responses like 'minor issue' or 'resolved' without providing dates, names of employers or agencies, circumstances, and outcomes. The form instructs applicants to be 'as complete, honest, and specific as possible.' Vague explanations raise red flags and may prompt investigators to assume the applicant is hiding something. For every 'Yes' answer requiring explanation, include the date, location, names of parties involved, what happened, and how it was resolved.
Incorrectly handling the TCOLE PID number field
The form instructs applicants who are already licensed by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to enter their TCOLE PID number, and those who are not licensed to leave the field blank. Many unlicensed applicants enter 'N/A' or '0' in this field, while some licensed applicants forget to include their PID or enter an incorrect number. Entering incorrect data in this field can cause delays in verifying existing licensure or create confusion about the applicant's licensing status. If you are not yet licensed, leave the field completely blank; if you are licensed, locate your exact PID number from your TCOLE records before completing the form.
Omitting or misreporting financial history including debts, collections, and bankruptcies
Section 7 asks detailed questions about financial history, including bankruptcies, collections, repossessions, wage garnishments, tax delinquencies, gambling debts, and court-ordered payments. Applicants often omit older financial issues, assume minor debts are irrelevant, or forget about student loan defaults or child support arrears. Financial irresponsibility is a significant concern for law enforcement positions because it can indicate vulnerability to corruption. Answer every financial question honestly and completely, and if you answered 'Yes' to any of questions 4–17, provide a thorough explanation including dates, amounts, and the current status of the issue.
Failing to list all residences for the past 10 years or since age 17
Section 4 requires a complete list of every address where the applicant has lived for the past 10 years or since age 17, whichever is longer, including the names of all housemates and property managers. Applicants frequently skip short-term residences (such as temporary housing, college dorms, or stays with family), omit apartment numbers, or fail to provide the county field. Missing residences create gaps that investigators must explain, and omitting housemates means those individuals cannot be interviewed as part of the background check. Compile a complete chronological list of all addresses before starting this section, and verify all landlord and housemate contact information.
Not reading the job description before answering the duty-performance question
The very first substantive question on the form asks whether any reasons, obligations, or circumstances would prevent the applicant from fully performing the duties of the selected position, and explicitly states that applicants must review the job description before answering. Many applicants answer 'No' without having actually read the job description, or fail to disclose legitimate scheduling conflicts (such as childcare obligations, second jobs, or religious observances) that could affect their ability to work evenings, nights, weekends, or holidays. Answering without reading the job description is a misrepresentation. Obtain and read the full job description for the position selected before answering this question, and if any genuine conflicts exist, disclose them honestly with a full explanation.

What is the DART Police Department Personal History Statement and who needs to fill it out?
The Personal History Statement is a comprehensive background investigation form required by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Police Department for applicants seeking positions as Peace Officers or Telecommunicators. It is used to evaluate your suitability for employment and becomes part of your permanent file if you are hired.
What documents do I need to submit along with the Personal History Statement?
After your Personal History Statement is reviewed and approved, you will need to upload the following: Social Security card, proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate, Naturalization papers, or U.S. passport), valid Texas or other U.S. state driver's license, high school transcript or GED certificate, college/university transcript (only required with a GED), DD-214 or other military discharge documents (if applicable), and proof of current automobile liability insurance.
Will a prior arrest or criminal history automatically disqualify me from employment?
Not necessarily — there are very few automatic bases for rejection, and prior misconduct, terminations, or arrests are usually not automatically disqualifying on their own. However, deliberately withholding or misrepresenting information is the number one reason applicants fail background investigations, so it is critical to be fully honest and transparent on this form.
Do I need to disclose arrests that did not result in a conviction?
Yes. Section 8 requires you to disclose ALL detentions or arrests, whether or not they resulted in a conviction, as well as all convictions, diversion programs, and citations (excluding traffic tickets). This includes offenses in any state or jurisdiction, including those punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
What are the basic eligibility requirements to qualify for a Peace Officer or Telecommunicator license in Texas?
You must meet all five requirements: (1) be a U.S. citizen, (2) have a high school diploma or a GED plus at least 12 college credit hours, (3) never have been convicted of or placed on probation/deferred adjudication for a Class A misdemeanor or felony, (4) not have been convicted of or placed on probation for a Class B misdemeanor within the last 10 years, and (5) never have had a military court martial resulting in a dishonorable or misconduct-based discharge.
How far back does the employment history section go, and what types of jobs must I include?
You must list ALL jobs from the last ten years, including part-time, temporary, self-employment, and volunteer positions, starting with your most current job. You must also list all periods of unemployment exceeding 30 days, and if you have military experience, include all military service assignments and reserve duty.
How many personal references do I need to provide, and who can I list?
You must provide 7 to 10 personal references who know you well, such as social and family friends, co-workers, or military acquaintances. You may NOT include relatives, supervisors, co-workers who are listed elsewhere in the form, or housemates.
Do I need to disclose past drug use, even if I was never arrested for it?
Yes. Section 8 includes questions about both detected and undetected drug use. You must disclose any recreational use of non-prescribed drugs within the past three years, as well as any prior use at any time in your life. You must also disclose any involvement in selling, manufacturing, purchasing, furnishing, cultivating, or carrying drugs for another person.
What happens if I leave sections blank or submit an incomplete form?
An incomplete Personal History Statement is sufficient cause for DART Police Department to reject your application entirely. If a question does not apply to you, write 'N/A' in the space provided. If you need more space for an answer, attach additional sheets and clearly reference the section and question number.
How do I submit the completed Personal History Statement?
You must submit the Personal History Statement and all required supporting documents by logging into your account on DART's Workday site and going to your 'Candidate Home' page, the link for which is in the upper right corner. If you have questions, contact [email protected] or call (214) 749-5951.
Do I need to disclose my social media accounts and online presence?
Yes. Section 10 asks whether you have ever had a social media site (such as Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat) and requires you to list all social media sites, blogs, and/or websites you have created, along with the website URL and your username for each.
Am I required to disclose medical or disability-related information on this form?
No. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), applicants are not expected or required to reveal any medical or disability-related information at this stage of the hiring process, prior to receiving a conditional offer of employment.
