Texas Private Security Law in Practice

A Two-Hour Rules and Responsibilities Review for Security Officers

This two-hour course converts Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1702 and 37 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 35 into practical, role-specific guidance for security officers. Learners work through licensing and employment status, pocket cards, employer-of-record limits, uniforms and identification, commissioned-officer firearm requirements, truthful reports, confidentiality, prohibited conduct, discipline, renewal, continuing education, and audit-ready documentation.

Learners will identify the sources governing Texas private security; distinguish regulated roles; verify authority to work; apply credential and employer requirements; audit uniforms; explain commissioned-officer firearm limits; prepare accurate reports; protect information; recognize prohibited practices; respond to questionable instructions; distinguish CE requirements by credential; and preserve proof of compliance.
