Close Protection
Discreet coverage that reads as staff, not as security.
- Advance work on every venue
- Plainclothes, low visibility posture
- Control of proximity and access
Fort Worth wealth is older, quieter, and more connected than wealth in the rest of the metroplex. Families here have been here for generations. They sit on the same boards, attend the same events, and use the same handful of clubs and schools. That social density is exactly why protective work in Fort Worth has to be invisible. A detail that draws attention does not just annoy the principal, it becomes the topic of conversation at the next lunch.
Mayer Security Services builds Fort Worth programs around that constraint. Our Texas DPS licensed Level IV Personal Protection Officers work in plain clothes, coordinate with household staff and family offices rather than around them, and document their work in a form your advisors can actually use. The goal is a family that keeps living the way it wants to live, with the risk quietly engineered out.
Family offices, energy executives, ranch owners, and principals whose names are on buildings. Coverage that stays out of the conversation.
Discreet coverage that reads as staff, not as security.
Acreage is a different problem from a lot. Perimeters here are measured in miles.
We work through your advisors, not around them.
Meacham, Alliance, and the west side of DFW. The curb is the exposure.
Fort Worth puts prominent families in public on a very regular schedule.
Most family threats come from someone already inside the circle.
Fort Worth is not a smaller Dallas. The wealth is older, the circle is tighter, and the exposure comes from being known rather than from being famous.
Usually with the principal, sometimes with the family office. What has happened, who is involved, and how many people can know that we are having this conversation.
We assess the property, the routines, the staff, and the calendar, then recommend a coverage level. If the answer is better gate discipline and a background check, we will say so.
Licensed PPOs deploy with written post orders, an escalation plan, and reporting your advisors can file. Quiet, consistent, documented.
These are firm wide numbers across Texas, not Fort Worth 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.
Estate and ranch details, family office coverage, event work, and secure movement across the city and the county. When the family travels, the same team travels with them.

Straight answers about discretion, ranch properties, event coverage, and licensing.
Yes, and in Fort Worth it is the first thing we design for. Agents work in plain clothes, arrive and leave separately from the principal where that makes sense, and are introduced to household staff in whatever way you choose. We are not offended by being called a driver or an assistant. Discretion is a deliverable, not a courtesy.
Yes. Acreage is a genuinely different problem from a residential lot. The perimeter is long, the access roads are informal, and the people who know the property best are the people who work on it. We build ranch coverage around gate discipline, patrol patterns that are not predictable, contractor and staff vetting, and a response plan that accounts for how far away help actually is.
Yes. Fort Worth event coverage is advance work more than anything else: which entrance, which route from the vehicle, where the vehicle waits, and how the principal leaves if the evening turns. We cover the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, Dickies Arena, the Cultural District, Sundance Square, and private club and museum events.
That is the most common case we see with Fort Worth families. A terminated household staffer, a fired ranch hand, or an estranged relative knows the property, the routines, and the people. It calls for a threat assessment on a named individual, a change to access and codes, and a protective posture that assumes the subject knows things a stranger would not. We document all of it so a protective order, if it comes to that, has a record behind it.
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, comparable to national security firms. Ask any provider you are considering for both numbers in writing.
