    Going to cost you $100 for the FBI background check, and then whatever your dmv charges for the endorsement. Then every 5 years you have to get the back ground check again. The test itself is easy.

    Go by texas dmv and pick up a manual. Study that and Google for practice tests. The TSA background check I think was $75 and took about 2 weeks to get back.

    Doesnt matter how recent your last background check occurred you will still have to pay and your background will still be checked.

    You can only get a discount if..you have gotten the Hazmat or TWIC. And it's not much of a discount
