Compliance & Standards

Meeting the standards that matter.

Beyond licensing requirements, we adhere to industry standards that ensure safe, compliant, and legally sound installations.

NFPA 101 Life Safety Code

All access control installations comply with NFPA 101 egress requirements. Fire alarm integration releases egress doors automatically.

NEC Article 725 & 800

All low-voltage wiring installed to National Electrical Code standards for Class 2 and Class 3 circuits.

TIA-568 Cabling Standards

Structured cabling installations follow TIA-568 commercial building telecommunications standards.

HIPAA-Aware Design

Healthcare installations are designed to comply with HIPAA privacy requirements — no cameras in treatment areas.

Fair Labor Standards Act

All employees classified and paid per FLSA requirements. No 1099 misclassification of field technicians.

Texas One-Call Compliance

All underground work is preceded by 811 locates to protect utility infrastructure during installation.

Independent Verification

Don't take our word for it.

Anyone can print a license number on a website. Here's how to independently verify ours — because you shouldn't have to trust a company just because they say they're licensed.

1
Visit the DPS verification portal The Texas DPS Private Security Bureau maintains a public database of all licensed contractors.
2
Search license #B-12088 Enter our license number to see our current status, classification, and any disciplinary history.
3
Request a certificate of insurance For any commercial project, we'll send our COI directly from our insurance carrier.
4
Check with the Better Business Bureau We maintain an A+ BBB rating with zero unresolved complaints since our founding in 2012.
Customer Protections

What our licensing means for you.

Hiring a licensed, insured contractor isn't just a legal formality — it directly protects you if something goes wrong. Here's what our credentials mean in practice.

Financial Protection

If our work damages your property, our bond and liability insurance cover the repair — you don't pay out of pocket.

Recourse if Something Goes Wrong

Unlicensed contractors leave you with no legal recourse. Licensed ones can be reported to the DPS and held accountable.

Insurance for Your Home or Building

Many property insurers require licensed contractors for any installed security system. Unlicensed work can void your coverage.

Legally Admissible Evidence

Footage from systems installed by licensed contractors is more defensible in court than from unlicensed DIY installations.

Building Code Compliance

Our work passes inspection. If you're audited or a code issue arises, we handle the fix — not you.

Workers' Comp Protection

If a technician is injured on your property, our workers' comp covers it — you're not exposed to liability.

Licensing FAQ

Questions about our credentials.

Have a question we haven't answered? Call us at (512) 577-5052 or visit our full FAQ page.

Texas law (Occupations Code Chapter 1702) requires any company that installs, services, monitors, or sells electronic security systems to hold a license from the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau. This applies to burglar alarms, surveillance cameras, access control, and intercom systems.

The license requires proof of insurance, a criminal background check, continuing education, and a surety bond. Unlicensed security work is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas.

The Texas DPS issues security licenses in several classes. Class B covers electronic access control, surveillance, intercom, and detection systems — essentially all the electronic security work we do. It requires more stringent qualification than a Class A (alarm only) or Class C (private investigator) license.

Some companies only hold a Class A license, which technically doesn't cover camera or access control installations. Ours covers everything we offer.

The Texas DPS maintains a public database at txdps.state.tx.us. You can search by our license number #B-12088 or by company name. The database shows our current status, classification, issue date, expiration, and any disciplinary history (there is none).

We encourage every commercial client to verify our license before signing a contract. We have nothing to hide.

Yes — we send certificates of insurance directly from our carrier for any commercial project. Just ask your account manager and we'll have it issued within one business day. The COI shows all our policies, limits, and named insured.

Many commercial clients require us to add them as an additional insured on our general liability policy. We're happy to do that at no extra cost.

Yes. Texas requires individual technicians who install security systems to hold a Non-Commissioned Security Officer or Alarm Level II license under their employer's DPS registration. Every field technician at SecureVista Tech holds the appropriate individual license.

All technicians also undergo a fingerprint-based criminal background check before hire, and again at every license renewal.

You're on your own. An unlicensed contractor has no bond to claim against, no DPS oversight, and no insurance requirement. If they damage your property or install a system incorrectly, your only recourse is civil court — which is expensive and slow.

Additionally, your property insurance may refuse to cover incidents involving unlicensed contractor work, and your system may not qualify for certain insurance discounts that require licensed installation.

Yes. Our Class B license covers every service we provide: security camera systems, video intercoms, electronic access control, alarm systems, and related low-voltage installation.

Some companies hold narrower licenses (like alarm-only) and technically aren't authorized for camera or access control work. If you're comparing quotes, ask every contractor for their exact license classification.
