How does a person become a licensed private investigator?
Check with the Texas Private Security Board for details. Generally, you must work 3-years for someone who already holds a license before you can apply for a license of your own. During that time, you’re expected to learn the techniques used in investigation, and will be introduced to many areas that might require a private investigator’s services. After you’ve established proficiency, and if you want your own license, you apply to the state, buy insurance, submit to a criminal background investigation, take a test, pay the fees, and get your own license.
