Under what condition can a person receive another pocket card from the board?

The condition under which a person can receive another pocket card from the board is that their current pocket card has not expired. This is important because the Texas Private Security Bureau maintains that a valid pocket card is necessary for an individual to operate legally as a qualified manager or security personnel. If a person needs a replacement for a lost or damaged card, the existing card must be current in order to issue another. This requirement ensures that only individuals actively meeting the qualifications and standards set forth by the bureau maintain their certification status in the private security industry.

The other scenarios, such as loss of a pocket card or its expiration, do not typically allow for the issuance of a new card without meeting specific criteria or completing a renewal process. A first-time applicant would not receive another card as they would be applying for their initial credential rather than a replacement. Through these regulations, the Texas DPS ensures compliance and upholds the integrity of the private security profession.
