Close Protection
One agent or a full detail, sized to the threat rather than to appearances.
- Advance work on every venue
- Control of proximity and access
- Plainclothes or business dress
San Antonio produces a kind of executive exposure that no other Texas city does. Business here runs south. Executives with plants, suppliers, or customers in Mexico travel a corridor where kidnapping for ransom and express kidnapping are a working reality rather than a headline, and where the risk is highest in the parts of the trip people think about least: the drive to the crossing, the vehicle at the airport, the routine that never changes.
Mayer Security Services provides Texas DPS licensed Level IV Personal Protection Officers for close protection, secure movement, and residential coverage across San Antonio. For principals whose business takes them across the border, we plan the Texas side of the movement properly and coordinate with vetted partners beyond it. We are honest about where our authority ends.
Corporate principals, family offices, physicians, and executives whose work takes them south. Coverage matched to the actual exposure.
One agent or a full detail, sized to the threat rather than to appearances.
The Texas side of the trip, planned properly, and an honest handoff beyond it.
Predictable vehicles and predictable routes are the most common failure in this city.
Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and the Dominion are quiet, gated, and well documented.
Downtown puts your principal in a dense, unscreened crowd on a published schedule.
Before we staff a detail, we establish whether you need one and what it protects against.
San Antonio is the only major Texas city where the executive risk conversation regularly involves an international border.
Who is the concern, what has happened, and where does the principal travel. If the answer involves the border, we want to know the corridor and the cadence.
We assess the threat, the residence, the routes, and the travel pattern, then recommend a coverage level. If the fix is changing a routine rather than hiring a detail, we will tell you.
Licensed PPOs deploy with written post orders, an escalation plan, and a reporting rhythm. You get documentation, not stories.
These are firm wide numbers across Texas, not San Antonio 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, corporate coverage, convention work, and secure movement across the city and the corridor south of it. 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.
Tell us where the principal lives, where they work, and where they travel. We will recommend the coverage level, the staffing, and the operating plan that reduces risk without taking over your life.
Straight answers about cross-border travel, licensing, event coverage, and what protection in San Antonio actually looks like.
We will be straight with you about what we do and do not do. Mayer Security Services is licensed in Texas, and our armed protective authority is a Texas authority. What we provide is the pre-travel risk assessment, secure movement to and from the crossing or the airport, route and pattern discipline on the Texas side, and coordination with vetted partners on the other side of the border. Any firm that tells you it will simply run armed protection for you inside Mexico deserves a very hard question about how.
Pattern discipline, more than muscle. Targeted kidnappings are preceded by surveillance, and surveillance is easy when a principal leaves at the same time, in the same vehicle, on the same road, and posts about it. We change what is predictable, harden the arrival and departure points, and train the principal and their driver on what pre-incident surveillance actually looks like. That work is unglamorous and it is what moves the number.
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 for both numbers in writing from anyone you are considering.
Yes. Downtown San Antonio event work is mostly advance work: the entrance your principal uses, the route from the vehicle, the position of that vehicle during the event, and the exit if the room turns. We cover the Henry B. González Convention Center, the Alamodome, the Frost Bank Center, and River Walk venues, including peak periods like Fiesta week.
Yes, and it is a real category in this city because of the South Texas Medical Center. The usual trigger is a patient or family member who has fixated on a physician, or a hospital executive facing a threat after a termination or a public dispute. We are members of the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety, and we handle these cases with the discretion the profession requires.
