What must a licensee do upon the expiration of their license?

A licensee must stop all activities requiring a license upon its expiration to comply with legal regulations governing the private security industry in Texas. Continuing to perform duties without a valid license not only breaches professional conduct guidelines but also exposes the licensee to potential legal actions, fines, and sanctions. Operating without a current license undermines the integrity of the profession and can jeopardize the safety and security of clients and the public.

The other options do not align with the requirements set forth by the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau. Continuing to perform duties without a license, regardless of not being cited, suggests a disregard for the law, and renewing the license without any fees is not accurate since there are typically fees associated with the renewal process. Transferring a license is also not permissible as licenses are personal and cannot be transferred to another individual. Therefore, ceasing all licensure activities upon expiration is the appropriate and lawful course of action.
