Licensed personal protection officers for the days you cannot afford to get wrong — court appearances, terminations, events, travel, and the quiet situations that never make a headline because someone was standing in the right place.
Most bodyguard work is not celebrities and red carpets. It is ordinary people in a window of elevated risk — a window that usually has a date on it. If one of these sounds like your week, you are the person this service exists for:
Single-day details are normal here, not an exception. You do not need a contract, a company, or a famous name to justify one — you need a reason, and yours is probably better than you think.
In Texas, the license that matters is the Level IV Personal Protection Officer certification issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety — the state’s highest personal protection credential, sitting on top of the Level III commission required to carry. That license is our floor, not our ceiling.
A bodyguard solves a day. An executive protection program solves a pattern. If your exposure is a hearing, an event, or a transaction, a protective detail covers it cleanly. If your risk follows you — a public role, ongoing threats, family exposure, regular travel — you want the advance work, threat assessment, and continuity of a standing executive protection program.
For protection built around a residence rather than a person, see estate and high-net-worth security. Not sure which you need? That is a normal place to start — the first conversation sorts it out quickly, and costs nothing.
Based at 1201 Fannin St in downtown Houston, working daily across the neighborhoods where personal protection is most often needed:
Plus Downtown, the Medical Center, and the greater metro. Traveling? We also run executive protection details in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth.
Personal protection work in Texas requires a Level IV Personal Protection Officer license from the Texas Department of Public Safety, built on top of the Level III commission required to work armed. Both require DPS-approved training, firearm qualification, and full background checks. Mayer bodyguards hold the licenses their assignments require — ask to see them, from us or anyone else you interview.
Yes. Single-day and single-event details are some of the most common work we do — court appearances, terminations, weddings, funerals, transactions, and travel days. There is no minimum contract, and a short detail gets the same planning discipline as a standing program.
Both are your call, guided by our recommendation. Most details run plainclothes and low-profile — protection that reads as a colleague, not an entourage. Armed coverage is provided by Level IV PPOs where the risk justifies it, and uniformed presence is available when visible deterrence is the goal.
A bodyguard covers a defined window — a day, an event, a trip. Executive protection is a standing program with threat assessment, advance work, and continuity for people whose risk does not end when the event does. We provide both, and will tell you honestly which one your situation calls for.
Cost depends on armed versus unarmed, plainclothes versus uniformed, hours, and how much advance planning the situation needs. A quote takes one confidential conversation — call (281) 202-9862 and you will have a number the same day, with no obligation and no record of the inquiry beyond our own.
One confidential conversation about where you will be, what you are walking into, and what coverage should look like. Discreet from the first call.
