What is the financial penalty for performing regulated services beyond the scope of the current license?

The financial penalty for performing regulated services beyond the scope of the current license is indeed $5,000. This amount reflects the seriousness with which the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau views compliance with licensing regulations. Operating beyond the authorized scope not only undermines the integrity of the private security industry but also poses risks to public safety and trust.

The penalty serves as a deterrent to ensure that licensed individuals and entities adhere strictly to the conditions of their licenses, which are put in place to protect the public and maintain professional standards. By imposing such a significant financial consequence, the regulatory body emphasizes the importance of compliance and the potential ramifications of negligence or misconduct in the field. This approach also helps to sustain a level of professionalism among security service providers.
