Mayer Security Services subcontracts posts across Dallas County and the metroplex to vetted Texas-licensed security companies. Corporate, logistics, and overnight coverage are the steadiest categories. If your company holds a DPS Class B or Class C license, the subcontractor portal is where that work is posted.
No security company carries a bench big enough for its own peak weeks. Subcontracting is how the industry covers the gap between what has been sold and what can be staffed on a given Tuesday.
Corporate clients frequently award multi-site contracts across the metroplex, and covering Dallas, Fort Worth, and the northern suburbs from one bench is not realistic.
Distribution and logistics facilities need overnight and weekend coverage, which is the hardest schedule to staff consistently.
Entertainment districts generate weekend-concentrated demand that no firm wants sitting idle Monday through Thursday.
Assignments follow the contracts Mayer Security Services holds in this market. These are the categories that come up most.
Every company in the network is an independent licensed business. You keep your license, your insurance, your officers, and your own clients. These are the requirements to be assigned work.
A Class B or Class C license issued under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1702, showing Active status. Verified against the Texas Online Private Security (TOPS) public portal before any assignment.
Commercial general liability coverage held by your company, with Mayer Security Services named as an additional insured on the certificate. Required limits vary by end client and are stated per assignment.
Coverage for every officer your company places on a post. Subcontractors are independent employers and remain responsible for their own personnel.
Level II non-commissioned officers for unarmed posts, Level III commissioned officers for armed posts, and Level IV personal protection officers where a detail calls for it. Registration current with DPS.
A completed W-9, your business entity information, and a named dispatch contact reachable outside business hours.
Incident reports filed the same shift, documented post orders, and officers who arrive on time in correct uniform. This is the requirement that actually determines whether assignments repeat.
Mayer Security Services does not sponsor, lend, or subcontract under its own license. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1702 requires the company providing the service to be licensed in its own name.
Submit your DPS license number, certificates of insurance, workers' compensation, W-9, coverage areas, and officer headcount through the subcontractor portal.
Your license is checked as Active against the Texas Online Private Security portal and your insurance endorsements are reviewed. This is the step that takes the longest, and incomplete certificates are the usual reason it stalls.
Once approved you are added to the dispatch list for the coverage areas and post types you selected, with a named point of contact on both sides.
Posts are offered through the portal with the site, schedule, officer level, and any client-specific requirements stated up front. You accept what fits your bench and decline what does not.
Select the areas your officers can genuinely reach when you apply. Overstating coverage to appear on more lists is the fastest way off the dispatch list.

Yes. Mayer Security Services subcontracts posts across Dallas County and the wider Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to licensed Texas security companies. Dallas volume is weighted toward corporate and office coverage, distribution and logistics facilities, retail and mixed-use property, and entertainment venues. Subcontractors must hold a current Texas DPS Class B or Class C license and carry their own general liability and workers' compensation coverage.
The network covers the metroplex, not just Dallas County. That includes Fort Worth and Tarrant County, the northern suburbs through Plano, Frisco, and McKinney, the Mid-Cities and Arlington, and Las Colinas and Irving. When you apply you select the areas you actually cover, and you are only offered posts inside them. Overstating coverage to get on more lists is the fastest way off the dispatch list.
Yes, and those are among the most consistently available. Logistics yards, distribution centers, and construction sites need overnight and weekend coverage that is genuinely hard to staff, which makes companies who can reliably fill those shifts valuable to the network. If overnight is where your bench is strongest, say so on the application.
Your DPS license is verified as Active against the Texas Online Private Security portal, certificates of insurance and workers' compensation are checked and must name Mayer Security Services as an additional insured, and a W-9 is collected before any assignment. Officer-level commissioning is confirmed for armed posts. Verification is repeated when your license or coverage comes up for renewal.
The network runs across five Texas markets. If your company covers more than one, select every area you genuinely operate in when you apply.
Licensed, insured, and able to staff a post reliably? Apply once and you are considered for every assignment in the coverage areas you select.
Applications are checked against the Texas DPS public licence register before any post is assigned. There is no account to create — approved companies receive assignment invitations by email.
