I am very grateful for the service provided by the security guards of this company. Most speak Spanish and always respond when needed.
The service they give helps a lot, especially at night, the security always on top and ahead of work, making sure everyone and everything is safe.
The 6-Point Officer Standard Officer Standard
Guard reliability is the thing clients worry about most. No officer works a Reliable Guard post until they clear all six of these. The same standard applies to every site, every shift.
How every officer is cleared before a post
Applied to 100% of officers
- DPS license verification – Active Texas DPS registration confirmed for the level the post requires, before deployment.
- Criminal background check – Full background screening, with fingerprint-based checks consistent with state requirements.
- Drug testing – Pre-assignment drug testing. No exceptions for armed or unarmed roles.
- Interview to standard – An in-person interview against company conduct and presentation standards, not just a license check.
- Verified references – References contacted and verified. We confirm history, we don’t assume it.
- Recurring training – Level II training for unarmed officers. Armed officers complete firearm proficiency and requalification every two years.

Trust Houston's Leading Security Experts
Don't take our word for it. Check the license yourself
You can confirm any Houston security company’s license in about two minutes on the state’s public portal. Here’s exactly how, and here’s our number to check.
- Open the Texas TOPS portal – Go to the Texas Online Private Security (TOPS) public license search, run by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
- Search by license number or company name – Enter our company license number B07315701, or search “Reliable Guard and Patrol Service.”
- Confirm the status is active – Check that the license is current and free of open issues. A lapsed or missing license is a real liability and insurance problem for you, the client.
- Ask for officer-level proof too – For armed posts, you can confirm an officer holds an active Level III commission. We’ll provide names on request.
Armed vs unarmed, in plain terms
- Level II · Non-commissioned – Unarmed officers. Training course and test required.
- Level III · Commissioned (armed) – Armed officers. Minimum 45 hours of training plus firearm proficiency.
- Level IV · Personal Protection Officer – Close protection. An added 15-hour minimum on top of Level III. We do not staff this.

Questions Buyers Actually Ask
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. We do not require long-term contracts. Terms are set to what your site needs: weekly, month-to-month, short-term, or long-term. The idea that security always means a year-long commitment is the biggest misconception we hear.
How fast can you start?
Same day, in most cases. After a first call and a free proposal, many clients get a site assessment and officers on post the same day. We also issue a certificate of insurance the same day.
Are you licensed, and how do I verify it?
Yes. We hold Texas DPS Private Security company license #B07315701. You can confirm it yourself on the Texas Online Private Security (TOPS) portal by searching our company name or the license number. We recommend doing this for any provider before you sign.
What’s the difference between armed and unarmed officers?
Unarmed officers are non-commissioned (Level II). Armed officers are commissioned (Level III), which requires a minimum of 45 hours of training plus firearm proficiency. We staff both and match the officer type to your site’s risk. For many standard commercial sites, well-trained unarmed coverage is the right call.
Do you offer event security, fire watch, K-9, or residential service?
No. We focus only on commercial security. We do not offer event security, fire watch, K-9, alarm response, parking enforcement, or residential and HOA work. If that’s what you need, we’ll tell you on the first call.
Are your officers background-checked?
Yes. Every officer clears a criminal background check, drug testing, and Texas DPS license verification, plus an in-person interview to company standards and verified references before working a post. See The 6-Point Officer Standard above.
Do you have Spanish-speaking officers?
Yes. We staff English- and Spanish-speaking officers across the Houston metro.
How do you prove the patrols actually happen?
We use GPS guard-tour systems. You get documented patrol rounds, real-time incident reports, and supervisor check-ins. We do not run random drive-by patrols.
