Texas Private Investigator exam
Texas Qualified Manager's exam
We are thePIgroup!
4000 members nationwide.
The Texas PSB (Private Security Board) qualified manager’s exam is given three to five times a month
at the Department of Public Safety headquarters in Austin. Exams are scheduled for manager, supervisor,
and consultant applicants after the proper applications and required fees have been received and when
it is determined that the applicants meet the experience requirements for that particular position.
Experience will only be considered when it is submitted directly on the PSB-02 (PDF) form.
The manager’s exam is designed to ensure that every manager, supervisor, and consultant have a
working knowledge
of the rules and regulations that govern the private security industry in Texas.
Every applicant for these three positions must pass the same exam which covers the statute and rules
(regardless of the category of company for which the managers/owners are applying).
Examinations are currently administered at the following locations: Austin, Houston, and Irving.
Addition locations will be made available once those arrangements can be finalized.
Applicants are required to bring their Driver License or state-issued ID,
facemask or face covering, printed copy of the statutes and rules, and two (2) sharpened pencils with erasers.
The exam consists of 100 questions and the time
allotment is two hours. Multiple versions of the exam.
Question format is true/false and multiple choice.
A score of 70% or greater is required to pass the exam.
Examination results are sent to the applicant's email address on file.
If the score is below passing and the applicant wishes to re-take the examination,
a $100 re-examination fee is required.
Applicants are allowed to re-test as often as the examination
schedule allows within their 90-day application window.
Scheduled applicants must bring a copy of their invitation letter as well as their driver’s license or state ID to the exam;
they must also know their application or company license number.
All correspondence from the Private Security Bureau will include this number.
The Managers exam was significantly modified.
The current exam questions now focus on issues of general concern to
managers of licensed companies, such as the eligibility criteria for registrations, pre-employment obligations and procedures,
application requirements, record-keeping, and the procedures relating to disciplinary actions and administrative fines.
Texas Guard Company Manager Requirements:
(a) All applicants for registration as manager of a guard
company must be at least 21 years of age at the
time of application.
(b) All such applicants must have at least three (3) years accumulated
employment experience in the field
in which the applicant’s prospective
employer
is licensed, including at least one (1) year of experience in
a managerial or supervisory position.
Texas Manager Exam Information:
The applicant applying as a manager/supervisor or consultant is required
to demonstrate qualifications in
the person’s license classification,
including knowledge of applicable state laws and administrative
rules by taking and passing an examination.
The exam consists of 100 questions – multiple choice and true/false.
A score of 70 or
greater is required to pass the exam.
Exams are only administered in the Austin Headquarters-Department of Public Safety
Complex by appointment only. Note: Please do not call Private Security Program (PSB) to
inquire as to the exam date. The PSB will notify applicants by mail of all test dates and times.
Scheduled applicants must bring in a copy of their invitation letter as well as their driver’s
license or state ID to the exam; they must also know their application file number or
company license number. Please refer to correspondence letter from the Private Security
Program to obtain your application or company license number.
Exam results are released not later than the 30th
day after a person takes a licensing
examination.
The “exam fee” is included in the original company license application fee. A person who
fails the examination must pay a reexamination fee to take a subsequent examination. The
cost for a reexamination is $100. Applicants are allowed to retest as often as the exam
schedule allows within their 90 day application window.

Most test-takers do the worst on
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT type questions.
These are the ones that many test-takers do bad on!
Records - Employees - Legal Requirements
Studying helps prepare you for these-- and much more!
The
test might
contain questions with
answers you feel are open to OPINION!
But what if your 'opinion' doesn't
match that of the test writer?!
Studying helps prepare you for
questions too.
We can include many non-test pages of items to assist in your business.

Testing secret #3
Watch out for these types of answer choices:
SIMILAR ANSWER CHOICES
Sometimes more than one answer choice
will look the same-- but there will be
a small
difference if you look close!
Studying helps prepare you for these-- and much more!
Database Company Site Inspections
Did you know that many database companies will not give you an account until you pass a 'site visit'?
They don't tell you what they are looking for, so you can't 'prepare'.
Many visits fail, and usually neither the inspector nor the database company will not tell why it failed!
It's hard to pass if you are in an office building-- but it is far harder to pass if your office is at home.
We have the secret list of what they might ask during the site visit-- and what they are secretly looking for!
Ask us to include this secret list, and we will.

Testing secret #4:
Many test-takers have a tough time
with this type of answer choices:
'Choose the BEST answer'.
You might find questions where more
than one of the answer choices is correct.
But one choice is a little better than the others.
Studying helps prepare you for these-- and much more!
We are NOT a boring seminar!
We are NOT a boring online prep! 
We are NOT a pdf download!
We are NOT a time-wasting multiple-choice prep! 
We hear the same thing, every week:
"The material from the State didn't help at all".
- or -
"The stuff the State sent me was only good for a few of the questions".
- or -
"I have failed the license test 3 times, and each time it was a different test".
Well, this is TRUE. And here's why-it-is-what-it-is:
The State is here to regulate you, NOT to educate you.
They provide you information on things that they can fine ($) you for.
They do NOT help you with the majority of the test.
It is an 'experienced-based' examination.
Most of the test is about knowledge you supposedly have from not only from
guard work, but also from running a business and from being an employer.
The truth is: you do not know most of these things, causing most to fail.

section:
Retail Security
we can make you a simple webpage FREE!(If you don't have a webpage, the public & businesses can't find you to hire you.)
Do you have a law-enforcement background? 
Our bigger package not only helps you with the
license test,

of security questions with answers and/or other security business knowledge!

of lawsuits
