Questions answered
Unarmed Security Officers FAQs
Straight answers to what Houston property owners, boards, and managers ask us most.
What is the difference between Level II and Level III security officers in Texas?
Level II is the Texas DPS classification for non-commissioned (unarmed) security officers. Level III is the commissioned classification required to carry a firearm on duty. Both are licensed through the Texas DPS Private Security Program.
How quickly can an unarmed guard start at my Houston property?
Most unarmed posts launch within 5 to 10 business days of a signed agreement, including site survey, post orders, and officer briefing. Emergency interim coverage can often start within 48 hours.
Do unarmed officers write reports?
Yes. Every shift produces a timestamped log, and any incident produces a written report the same day, formatted to your property management or board reporting standard.
