Question 1

How quickly can I book a security guard in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Most non-emergency bookings are matched with a licensed security professional within an hour. Same-day requests for armed officers (Level III) and personal protection (Level IV) typically need 2–4 hours of lead time so the partner company can dispatch the right officer.

Question 2

Are your security guards licensed in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every officer on the security.gift platform works for a security company licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (TX DPS). Unarmed officers hold a Level II (Non-Commissioned) license, armed guards hold Level III (Commissioned), and personal protection officers hold Level IV (PPO). We verify the licensing of partner companies before they go live on the platform.

Question 3

How much does private security cost in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Pricing starts at $35/hour for Level II unarmed officers, $55/hour for Level III armed guards, and $85/hour for Level IV personal protection. Private investigations start at $150. Final pricing is set by the partner company based on the assignment, but you'll see an estimate before you confirm the booking.

Question 4

What's the difference between Level II, III, and IV security?

Accepted Answer

Level II officers are unarmed — great for access control, event check-in, and visible deterrence. Level III officers are armed and trained to respond to higher-risk situations. Level IV (Personal Protection Officer) is the most specialized — dedicated close-protection trained in executive security, defensive driving, and advance planning.

Question 5

Do guards arrive in uniform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Partner companies on security.gift maintain a professional standard — black suit and tie for most details, or specified tactical gear when the assignment requires it. Discreet plainclothes protection is available for Level IV bookings when requested.

Question 6

Are security.gift partner companies veteran-led?

Accepted Answer

Many of them are. We actively recruit veteran-owned and veteran-led security companies, and we flag them in the directory. Supporting veterans transitioning into civilian security work is a core part of the platform's mission.

Question 7

Which Texas cities do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We're live across Greater Austin — Austin plus Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander, and San Marcos. We're actively onboarding vetted partner companies in the other major Texas metros — Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, and San Antonio. If your area isn't live yet, tell us and we'll add you to the launch list and reach out as soon as coverage opens near you.

Question 8

Can I cancel or refund a booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes — bookings can be cancelled before an officer is assigned for a full refund. After assignment, cancellation policies follow the partner company's terms, which are shown on the booking confirmation.
