How often does the board meet according to the Texas Private Security Act?

The frequency of the board's meetings according to the Texas Private Security Act is determined by the board itself. This allows the board flexibility to decide when it is most necessary to convene based on the issues at hand, ongoing projects, or other pertinent matters. The term "irregular intervals" indicates that there is not a fixed schedule, which can accommodate varying demands for meetings as situations arise in the private security sector.

In contrast, a monthly meeting schedule as required by law would impose a fixed routine that may not align with the board's operational needs. Frequent weekly meetings, as suggested in one of the options, might be excessive given that the nature of the board's discussions can vary significantly over time. Finally, only meeting when prompted by external authorities could limit the board's ability to address internal matters proactively, making it less effective in fulfilling its responsibilities. Therefore, allowing the board to meet at its discretion supports a more adaptive and responsive governance model.
