What is the additional fee for a new application requiring a laminated pocket card?

The additional fee for a new application requiring a laminated pocket card is indeed $5.00. This fee is a standard charge associated with the processing and issuance of a laminated identification card, which serves as an official credential for individuals in the private security industry. The laminated card is essential as it signifies that the individual is authorized to operate within the parameters set by the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau, and it provides a physical form of identification that is durable and professional.
