License Issues Faced by Private Investigators
Private investigators in Texas operate within a highly regulated profession overseen by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). Even a single allegation or regulatory misstep can place your career and livelihood at risk. Common challenges include:
- Formal complaints: Dissatisfied clients or employers may file complaints regarding investigative practices, which can initiate DPS inquiries.
- Background concerns: Prior criminal convictions, legal issues, or inaccuracies in licensing applications often prompt intensified scrutiny.
- Regulatory violations: Even inadvertent lapses in compliance with Texas statutes governing private investigators can result in disciplinary action.
- Accusations of misconduct: Claims involving ethical breaches, such as confidentiality violations or falsified documentation, may result in license suspension or revocation.
At Bertolino LLP, we understand the high stakes involved in protecting your license. Our Texas private investigator license defense attorneys meticulously respond to DPS complaints, develop compelling evidentiary arguments, and provide evidence-based preparation for informal settlement conferences and board hearings.
