Level 2 Security Training Texas

Non-Commission Security Officer Course

Our Level II Non-Commission Security Training course provides the required foundation for individuals entering the private security industry in Texas.

This course covers essential topics including licensing requirements, state regulations, officer duties, report writing, and emergency response procedures. Students will gain a clear understanding of how to operate within the scope of Texas law and industry expectations.

Upon successful completion, students receive a certificate accepted by the Texas Department of Public Safety and licensed security companies for processing their state registration.

Important Notice:

Under Texas law, individuals may not perform security-related duties without the appropriate license. This requirement applies regardless of job title. Positions such as courtesy officer, event staff, bouncer, fire watch, or safety officer still fall under regulated security activity.

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. Positions such as courtesy officer, event staff, bouncer, fire watch, or safety officer still fall under regulated security activity.
