Austin has produced a generation of executives who are famous in a way that previous generations of executives never were. Founders have audiences. Their opinions are public, their companies are argued about, and their names show up in threads written by people who have never met them. Most of it is noise. Some of it is not, and the difference between the two is the entire job.
Mayer Security Services treats Austin protective work as a threat assessment problem first and a staffing problem second. We look at what has actually been said, who said it, whether they have moved from language to logistics, and whether your home address is one search away. Then we deploy Texas DPS licensed Level IV Personal Protection Officers who fit the room, whether the room is a board meeting or a bar on Rainey Street.
Founders, public figures, and executives who did not plan on being recognized. Coverage that fits a city where the CEO wears a t-shirt.
Coverage that reads as a colleague, not a bodyguard, unless you want it read the other way.
The Austin service that matters most, and the one most firms skip.
Hill Country properties are private until someone posts the driveway.
Austin schedules its own crowd surges. We staff for them.
MoPac and I-35 are chokepoints on a good day.
Layoffs, RTO fights, and terminations that get personal.
Austin is the Texas city where a principal is most likely to be recognized by a stranger who already has an opinion about them.
Tell us what has actually happened. The messages, the account, the person who showed up. Bring the screenshots. Nothing leaves that call.
We assess the subject, the exposure, and the calendar, then recommend a coverage level. Sometimes the answer is a threat assessment and a locksmith, not a detail. We will say so.
Licensed PPOs deploy with written post orders, an escalation plan, and a reporting rhythm. Documentation that holds up if this ends in court.
These are firm wide numbers across Texas, not Austin only. They are the record behind the teams we would put on your detail.
Property, inventory, and high value projects under our protection.
Executives, physicians, litigators, and families under close protection.
High risk moments stabilized through planning, presence, and de-escalation.
A record we protect with assessment, clear rules, and disciplined training.
Coverage comparable to national firms, at boutique precision.
Building protective programs for high risk principals and high consequence sites.
Residential details, founder and executive coverage, event work, and secure movement across the city and the Hill Country. When your principal travels, the same team travels with them.

Mayer Security Services, operating as Meyer Defense, Inc., is a Texas DPS licensed provider carrying the registrations, memberships, and public trust signals that matter when you are protecting people, assets, and reputation.
If someone has crossed a line, bring what you have. We will tell you honestly whether this needs a detail, a threat assessment, or a conversation with law enforcement, and we will help you with all three.
Straight answers about online threats, event coverage, licensing, and what protection in Austin actually looks like.
It can become one, and the useful question is whether the person has moved from language to logistics. Someone who says something ugly is different from someone who has found your house, learned your schedule, or shown up once. Mayer Security Services runs a behavioral threat assessment first, tells you which category you are in, and only recommends a protective detail if the facts support it.
Yes, and those weekends need to be booked early because the whole city is staffed out. Austin event coverage is mostly advance work: knowing the venue, the load in, the press line, the exit, and the vehicle position before your principal arrives. We handle keynotes, panels, festival appearances, and the Circuit of the Americas weekend.
Start with the founder, not the office. Most Austin companies that call us have one exposed person and no program at all. We assess that person’s actual exposure, which usually means their home address, their published calendar, and one or two named individuals, and then build the smallest program that solves it. You do not need a security department to get this right.
Yes. Mayer Security Services operates under Texas DPS License C28670101, and our close protection agents are licensed Level IV Personal Protection Officers. The firm carries $15 million in liability insurance. Any provider you consider should give you both numbers in writing before you sign anything.
Yes, and in Austin it is usually the point. Our agents dress for the environment, which here often means business casual rather than a suit, keep distance where distance is safe, and stay out of frame. Visible deterrence is a tool we use when you want it, not a default we impose on you.
