TEXAS SECURITY LEVEL-2  NON-COMMISSION OFFICER COURSE

The Level 2 Non-Commission security course introduces you to the industry; will advise you on the laws and regulations you must follow and provides you with a solid foundation and starting point of what private security is all about. You will be given basic instruction on licensing, regulations, procedures, and operations of a security officer/company, report writing, and responding to emergencies, among many other topics. All students, upon successful completion of the class, will receive a certificate of completion (accepted by the state of Texas and every licensed security agency), in order to process your state license.

TX DPS just updated this class in 2014 is your company or school in compliance? We are! 

NOTICE: It is a criminal offense in the state of Texas to perform any type of security-related work without a license, regardless if you or your employer avoid using the term “security” (such as: courtesy officer, event staff, bouncer, etc).  See section at the bottom of the page.

“Mr. Jones is extremely knowledgeable not only in security but in the Texas penal code. The courses are extremely informative and definitely worth the time and money. Customer service at TCTA is outstanding. Outstanding job guys keep up the amazing hospitality and customer service. I wouldn’t want to take a security course anywhere else. I would recommend these guys to everyone.”-Dom Robards

 Non-commission Security License

OCC §1702.3875. IMPERSONATING SECURITY OFFICER; OFFENSE.

A person commits an offense if the person: (1) impersonates a commissioned or non-commissioned security officer with the intent to induce another to submit to the person’s pretended authority or to rely on the person’s pretended acts of a security officer; or (2) knowingly purports to exercise any function that requires registration as a non-commissioned security officer or a security officer commission. (b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

TCTA Note: A class “A” misdemeanor is an arrestable offense and you will be transported to jail – not given a ticket. Take the class, get licensed and save yourself the time & trouble. It does not state, “wearing a security uniform;” it states “any function” of a security type – so don’t play games and risk it, get licensed.
