Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau
The Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau (PSB) regulates the private security industry in the state of Texas. State regulations for this industry include licensing private security companies and registering individuals employed by those licensed companies. The Private Security Bureau was created in 1969 as the Texas Board of Private Investigators and Private Security Agencies. In 1998, the Agency was renamed the Texas Commission on Private Security. The Private Security Bureau employs licensing and investigations staff internally at the TX DPS headquarters in Austin, TX, as well as field investigators located throughout the state. The Bureau's investigators, who are commissioned peace officers, investigate both criminal and administrative violations of the Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1702 and related administrative rules. The Private Security Bureau is associated with the Private Security Board which is a seven member board appointed by the governor.
