What must a military service member demonstrate to apply for an alternative license?

To apply for an alternative license as a military service member, demonstrating current licensing in another jurisdiction is essential. This requirement acknowledges the skills and training that military personnel may have acquired during their service, which can be comparable to those required in the civilian private security industry. The existence of an active license in another jurisdiction signifies that the service member is recognized as a qualified professional in that area, which can facilitate their transition into a new licensing framework in Texas.

This approach not only values the experience and qualifications that military service members bring but also helps ensure that they meet the necessary standards for practice in private security within Texas, aligning with the goals of the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau. Other options, while relevant in discussing qualifications, do not directly address the essential requirement of having an existing license that can be transferred or recognized in the new jurisdiction.
