Mayer Security Services partners with Texas-licensed security companies across Bexar County to staff posts the firm has been awarded in the San Antonio market. If your company holds a DPS Class B or Class C license and can field officers who meet client vetting requirements, 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.
Defense and government-adjacent contracts carry background, badging, and reporting requirements that rule out firms who cannot document their officer vetting.
The Medical Center generates steady healthcare posts where de-escalation training and clean incident reporting matter more than headcount.
Convention, hospitality, and River Walk event work spikes hard around large downtown events and needs officers who present well in a guest-facing environment.
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 Bexar County and the surrounding area to licensed Texas security companies. San Antonio volume is weighted toward healthcare, hospitality and event coverage, distribution facilities, and government-adjacent commercial sites. Subcontractors must hold a current Texas DPS Class B or Class C license and carry their own general liability and workers' compensation coverage.
It depends entirely on the site. Most commercial work around the base is ordinary private security on private property and needs nothing beyond Texas licensure. Contracts on or inside a federal installation carry their own access, badging, and background requirements set by the government customer, not by Mayer Security Services. Those requirements are stated in the assignment when the post is offered so your company can decide whether it can meet them before committing.
Your company must carry its own commercial general liability coverage and Texas workers' compensation for every officer it places, and name Mayer Security Services as an additional insured on the certificate. Specific limits are set by the end client and can be higher on healthcare and government-adjacent sites than on standard commercial work; the required limits for a given post are stated up front rather than assumed.
Yes, and it is one of the more consistent categories in this market. Downtown and River Walk event work needs officers who are comfortable in a guest-facing role, present professionally, and can handle crowd flow and intoxicated-guest situations without escalating. Companies with a demonstrated hospitality track record are prioritized for that work.
The network runs across five Texas markets. If your company covers more than one, select every area you genuinely operate in when you apply.
