(1) obtain through the Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal history record information maintained or indexed by that bureau that pertains to that person; or
(2) obtain from any other criminal justice agency in this state criminal history record information maintained by that criminal justice agency that relates to that person.
(b) Any restriction or limitation in this subchapter or Subchapter E-1 on criminal history record information that a person, agency, department, political subdivision, or other entity is entitled to obtain from the department applies equally to the criminal history record information that the person, agency, department, political subdivision, or other entity is entitled to obtain from the identification division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other criminal justice agency.
(c) Subsection (a) does not authorize a person, agency, department, political subdivision, or other entity to obtain criminal history record information from the identification division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation if dissemination of criminal history record information by the division is prohibited by federal law, executive order, or rule.
(d) A person, agency, department, political subdivision, or other entity that is not a criminal justice agency is entitled to obtain criminal history record information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation only if:

(2) no disqualifying record or information from a state or local criminal justice agency is known to the requestor; and
(3) the request is not for the purpose of discriminating against a person because of the person's race, sex, age, disability, religion, color, or national origin.
(e) The department may provide access to state and national criminal history record information to a qualified entity entitled to that information regarding the entity's employees and contractors under the National Child Protection Act of 1993 (34 U.S.C. Section 40102). The department must follow federal law and regulation, federal executive orders, and federal policy in releasing information under this subsection.
(f) Notwithstanding any other law, a person, agency, department, political subdivision, or other entity entitled to access the criminal history record information of a person under Subsection (e) is not required to collect or submit the person's fingerprints if:

(2) the department retained the fingerprints;
(3) the fingerprints are acceptable to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for access to criminal history record information; and
(4) the only purpose for which the person's fingerprints are collected is to access criminal history record information under Subsection (e).
