What is an example of a duty that would typically require licensure under the Texas Private Security Act?

Providing medical alert services is a duty that typically requires licensure under the Texas Private Security Act because it involves the monitoring and response to individuals who may require emergency assistance. This service often entails managing communication and action during emergencies, which aligns with the responsibilities governed by the act that regulates activities intended to ensure personal safety and security.

In contrast, while installing personal emergency response systems, monitoring residential security systems, and providing information on local crime rates are important services related to security and safety, they do not inherently involve the same level of direct emergency service provision as medical alert services would. Thus, they may not be as strictly regulated or require the same licensing under the law as providing medical alert services does. This highlights the specific focus of the Texas Private Security Act on services that directly impact the safety and security of individuals in urgent situations.
