The process of becoming a licensed Personal Protection Officer in Texas encompasses a thorough assessment, as delineated in the PSB 12 form issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau. Designed for individuals aspiring to provide bodyguard services, this application form is a critical step towards attaining authorization. Applicants must meet several stringent criteria, including being at least 21 years of age, not having a history of drug or alcohol addiction, and having a clean criminal record for certain offenses within the last five years. Furthermore, they are required to demonstrate mental competence and, if applicable, an honorable military discharge. The process is not only about meeting these prerequisites but also includes completing various levels of training and possessing a current handgun proficiency certificate. With a non-refundable application and subscription fee totaling $55.00, aspiring personal protection officers must also be employed by a licensed guard or investigations company and have undergone extensive preparation, including obtaining a Level Four Personal Protection Officer Certificate of Completion and a declaration of psychological and emotional health. This comprehensive approach, encompassing both application requirements and a careful evaluation of an applicant's background, underscores the state's commitment to ensuring that only qualified individuals are granted the responsibility of safeguarding others.
