Armed and unarmed officers protecting construction sites, warehouses, commercial buildings, and retail centers across greater Houston. Real rates, verifiable licensing, same-day deployment, and no long-term contract required.
What "Licensed And Armed" Really Means In Texas
Almost every Houston security company says “fully licensed officers.” True, but close to meaningless without context. Here is the actual standard set by the Texas DPS Private Security Program, and the difference between an unarmed and an armed officer.
LEVEL II
Non-Commissioned (Unarmed)
The baseline for most unarmed security roles.
6 hrs minimum training plus state exam
- Observe, deter, document, and report
- Control access points and verify visitors
- Respond to incidents and complete written reports
- Best fit for visible deterrence at lower-risk sites
LEVEL III
Commissioned (Armed)
Required for armed officers. Level II must come first.
45+ hrs course taught by a licensed Level III school
- Includes classroom, defensive tactics, and a course of fire
- 10+ hours of in-person firearms and tactics under recent updates
- Higher presence for cash handling and sensitive facilities
- Firearm proficiency must be renewed on a set schedule

Houston isn't Generic Texas
Three local realities shape security work here that most general service pages underplay. We staff for them because this is the only market we work in.
TWIC and access credentials
Sites near the Ship Channel and the Energy Corridor, including Pasadena and Deer Park, often require officers to hold a TWIC credential on top of Texas licensing, driven by maritime facility security rules. If your site is near critical infrastructure or a chemical facility, ask us about TWIC-credentialed coverage.
A real, ongoing building boom
Houston’s growth keeps job sites active across the metro, and they bring distinct risks: open perimeters, high-value equipment and materials, after-hours threats, and the need to coordinate with general contractors. Construction security is one of our core specialties.
Petrochemical and warehouse scale
The energy corridor and port activity create higher-stakes environments where visible deterrence, controlled access, and clean incident documentation matter far more than they do at a standard office or strip center.

HOUSTON SECURITY FAQ
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. This is the single biggest misconception about hiring security. We work weekly, month-to-month, short-term, and long-term. The terms are built around what your site actually needs.
How fast can you deploy guards?
Same day in most cases. We can put officers on post and provide proof of insurance the same day you engage us.
Armed or unarmed, which do I actually need?
Armed is not automatically better. It costs more, raises insurance and liability considerations, and the legal authority is still limited to the citizen’s arrest standard plus specific DPS rules. Unarmed officers are a strong fit for visible deterrence and access control. Armed officers make sense for cash handling, high-value assets, and higher-risk sites. We match the officer type to your real threat level.
What can your officers legally do?
Commissioned officers can make a citizen’s arrest for a felony or breach of the peace committed in their presence, secure a scene, and seize stolen property to prevent loss, while in uniform and on duty for a licensed company. They are not full peace officers. Our training emphasizes those legal boundaries because overstepping creates liability for everyone.
How do I verify your license?
Our company license is #B07315701. You can verify it, and the licenses of individual officers, through the Texas DPS Private Security Program. We encourage you to do exactly that before you compare any provider.
Do you cover energy or port sites that need TWIC?
We serve the Energy Corridor and industrial Houston. Sites near the Ship Channel or chemical facilities often require officers to hold a TWIC credential on top of Texas licensing. Ask us about TWIC-credentialed coverage for your specific site.
Do you run random patrols?
No. We staff dedicated posts, not random drive-bys. Every officer works documented patrol rounds on a GPS guard tour system, files real-time incident reports, and is checked on by a supervisor during the shift.
What does your officer screening include?
Background checks, drug testing, and license verification, plus interviews to confirm they meet company standards and required references. Armed officers complete firearm proficiency and requalification training every two years, and unarmed officers keep their Level II training current.
Are Spanish-speaking officers available?
Yes. We have officers who speak English and Spanish, so site communication is never a barrier.
