Common questions about security services, licensing, and best practices in Texas.
The decision depends on your risk assessment, asset value, and local crime patterns. Unarmed guards are sufficient for most retail, office, and residential applications. Armed security is typically needed for high-value assets, cash-intensive businesses, or areas with elevated security threats. Our free security assessment can help determine the right level for your needs.
Verify current Texas Private Security licensing, insurance coverage ($1M+ liability recommended), GPS tracking capabilities, 24/7 dispatch availability, and local references. Ask about guard training programs, background check procedures, and technology integration. Avoid companies that cannot provide immediate proof of licensing or insurance.

Texas security guards have the same authority as private citizens to make citizen's arrests for felonies committed in their presence or misdemeanors involving breach of peace. However, most situations should be handled by detaining suspects and immediately contacting law enforcement. Guards should be trained in proper detention procedures and legal limitations.
Emergency deployment can typically be arranged within 2-4 hours for basic coverage. Comprehensive security programs with site-specific training usually require 24-48 hours. For planned deployments, we recommend 1-2 weeks lead time to ensure proper guard selection, training, and integration with your facility's specific requirements.
