Security company licensing in Texas
Texas Department of Public Safety, Regulatory Services Division, Private Security Program licenses security companies here, but we do not yet carry its roster, so we cannot tell you who is on it.
The public licensee search is CAPTCHA-gated and there is no DPS licensee dataset. A separate endpoint behind the portal will resolve one licence number at a time to a company name and sub-type without a CAPTCHA, so the roster is reachable in principle but only by walking the number space slowly. Texas is also the one state besides California that says it publishes per-company insurance information, though only on the gated detail page.
Until then, verify a company with the regulator directly, and treat any license number a company gives you as a claim we have not checked.
