Texas is a high-growth security market — and the DPS Private Security Bureau holds companies to a strict standard. Whether you're expanding into Texas or preparing your guard company for sale, your PSB standing needs to survive a buyer's diligence. We make sure it does.
Contract security in Texas is regulated by the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau (PSB). A guard company holds a Company License, names a qualified manager, and registers each commissioned and non-commissioned officer. Armed services require additional commissioning and training documentation.
For owners planning an exit, the PSB file is a frequent diligence flashpoint. A lapsed company license, a qualified manager who has departed, or unregistered officers are the kinds of findings that stall a closing or hand a buyer repricing leverage.
