How can an agency find out if the DPS CODIS Lab has received a submitted sample or if an offender’s profile is in the CODIS database?
The agency may first check the offender’s computerized criminal history. A “Y” in the DNA field means that a sample has been received, accepted, and profiled. While “N” means a sample has not been profiled, however, a sample may have still been received. You can then make a request to the CODIS Lab for verification of receipt. The request must be made by a representative of a criminal justice agency and faxed to the DPS CODIS Lab (512- 424-2386) on the agency’s letterhead. Please include the offender’s name, SID number, and date of birth when making the request.
