What action can a business owner take following the termination of a qualified manager?

Following the termination of a qualified manager, a business owner is permitted to temporarily operate the business for up to 60 days. This provision allows the business sufficient time to find a replacement qualified manager without disrupting operations. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) requires that the security firm maintain a qualified manager to ensure proper oversight and compliance with regulations, which is vital for the integrity and legal standing of the business.

During this 60-day period, the business owner must take steps to appoint a new qualified manager, initiating the process of submitting an application as needed. This timeframe ensures that the business can continue to function while also adhering to the legal requirements set forth by the Texas Private Security Bureau, maintaining both operational continuity and regulatory compliance.
