Whether you’re applying for a job in downtown San Antonio, trying to rent a home in Alamo Heights, or onboarding with a rideshare or delivery app, background checks are everywhere—and so are the errors that come with them. If your application was denied because of inaccurate, outdated, or mismatched information in a background report, you may have rights under federal law.
At FCRA Attorneys, we help consumers across Bexar County challenge wrongful background check reports. We fight for everyday people who’ve lost opportunities due to negligent reporting practices by big screening companies. From filing disputes to litigating in federal court, we work to set the record straight—and make it right.

Background Check Mistakes Are Common in Texas.
The FCRA is a federal law that gives you the right to:
- Know if a background check was used against you
- Receive a copy of the report
- Dispute false or inaccurate information
- Have errors corrected within 30 days
- Sue for compensation if your rights are violated
These protections apply to employment, rental housing, professional licensing, and even contractor platforms like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Amazon Flex.

Employment Background Check Problems in San Antonio
If a San Antonio employer uses a background check to reject you, they must:
- Provide a pre-adverse action notice
- Give you a copy of the report
- Allow time to dispute errors before making a final decision
If they skip any of these steps—or rely on an inaccurate report—they may be in violation of federal law. We’ve helped nurses, retail workers, office professionals, and public employees throughout Texas protect their careers.
Rental and Tenant Screening Report Errors
San Antonio’s rental market is competitive—and landlords often rely on tenant screening reports from national companies like CoreLogic, TransUnion SmartMove, and RentGrow. If your report includes wrong eviction data, credit information, or public records, you can:
- Demand a corrected report
- Get a second look at your application
- Sue for financial compensation if denied housing unfairly
We help renters challenge these reports and hold the companies accountable.
What You May Be Entitled To Under the FCRA
If your rights were violated, you could be eligible to recover:
- Up to $1,000 per violation in statutory damages
