Mayer Security Services subcontracts overflow, surge, and out-of-market posts to independent Texas-licensed security companies in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and the Permian Basin. You keep your license, your insurance, your officers, and your own clients. There is no fee to join.
Security contracts are routinely won in cities where the winning firm has no bench, and covering five Texas markets from one payroll is not how the industry actually works. The network is how those posts get staffed: independent licensed companies take assignments in the areas they already operate in.
No exclusivity, no franchise fee, no rebranding. Your company keeps its own DPS license, its own insurance, its own officers, and its own client book.
You select the areas and post types you actually cover, and you are only offered assignments inside them. Decline what does not fit without penalty.
Site, schedule, officer level, uniform standard, and any client-specific vetting are on the assignment before you commit, not after.
Each market has its own page covering the work available there, the post types, and the coverage area.
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.
It is a vetted list of independent, Texas-licensed security companies that Mayer Security Services assigns overflow, surge, and out-of-market posts to. Member companies keep their own license, their own insurance, and their own officers – the network is a source of contract work, not a franchise or an employment arrangement.
Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and the Permian Basin around Midland and Odessa, plus the counties surrounding each. Houston is where Mayer Security Services is headquartered; the other markets are where the firm most often needs local partners. Companies outside those metros are still welcome to apply and are added as contracts reach their area.
No. There is no membership fee, no application fee, and no charge to be listed. Your company is compensated for the work it performs under the terms agreed for that assignment.
Yes. Subcontractors are independent companies and the network is non-exclusive. You continue to hold and pursue your own contracts. The only restriction is the standard non-solicitation that applies to clients you are introduced to through an assignment.
Most of the wait is license and insurance verification. Once your DPS license shows Active in the TOPS portal and your certificates of insurance and workers' compensation are on file and correctly endorsed, your company is added to the dispatch list for the coverage areas you selected. Incomplete insurance documentation is the most common reason an application stalls.
One application covers every market you operate in. Licence and insurance verification is the only gate.
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.
