What additional fee is assessed when assigning a license?

The assignment fee is a specific charge that is applied when a license is reassigned from one individual or entity to another. This fee is separate from other types of fees, such as late renewal or service fees, as it pertains directly to the administrative costs associated with processing the transfer of the license.

When an organization seeks to assign a license to a qualified individual or to another business entity, the assignment fee is intended to cover the expenses incurred by the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau in reviewing and approving the request. This fee reflects the regulatory need for oversight in maintaining the integrity and qualifications of licensed security personnel and businesses.

Understanding this aspect is crucial for compliance with licensing procedures and financial planning for businesses in the private security sector in Texas.
