How long is a letter of authority or school approval valid before it expires?

A letter of authority or school approval in the context of Texas DPS Private Security Bureau is valid for one year from the date it is issued. This one-year validity period is established to ensure that the information and training aligned with the letter remain current and relevant, allowing for regular updates and renewals as the security environment or regulations change.

The one-year timeframe promotes the ongoing competency and compliance of the individuals or organizations involved, ensuring that they meet the standards set forth by the Bureau. After this period, a renewal process must be undertaken to maintain authorization and compliance with the regulations governing the private security industry in Texas.
