Every session, we study every bill that affects the private security and private investigation industries, fighting against legislation that could harm your rights and pushing for laws that move the industry forward.

We work year-round with Texas lawmakers to make sure they understand the importance of a well-regulated private security industry and the role it plays in keeping Texas communities safe.

We work directly with the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Private Security Advisory Committee to ensure that board rules reflect the true intent of the laws governing our industry.
