What is the minimum age requirement for an applicant seeking a guard company license?

The minimum age requirement for an applicant seeking a guard company license in Texas is indeed twenty-one years old. This age requirement is established to ensure that individuals who hold these licenses are sufficiently mature and responsible, recognizing that roles in security involve significant responsibilities including decision-making in high-pressure situations, supervision of employees, and compliance with state regulations. By setting the age at twenty-one, the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau seeks to ensure a level of maturity and life experience that can be crucial in the field of private security.
