If ya'll havent realized it yet .. in TX "the DPS Security Card" belongs to YOU, its your card - not the companies. It would be the worker/contractor/employee that would be fined along w/ te company if you dont have one.

However, the law is VERY specific, with a level II security license, you can ONLY work for a licensed and registered guard company, NOT on your own. It is all spelled out on the DPS website and is one or more of the questions on the test.

Yes you can work as your own company --- BUT, that company must be properly registerd w/ the DPS/State of TX as a Security Company. A lenghy test is required as well

We are Gate Guarding in TX. We are hooked up to a new 20k generator Cat with 50 amp. It is running at 63 hz instead of 60 hz. Have any of you had any problem with damage from this? Our clocks are running fast. I'm concerned that it may damage our electronics. We use a voltage regulator and the voltage seems to be fine.

I was coming home from Cotulla yesterday and got stuck on 624 for 1 1/2 hours. A head on colision on 624 south of Cotulla, at the top of a hill on a curve and double yellow line. This morning our ranch security came by to check on us and told me it was a gate guard coming home from shopping in Cotulla.I feel so bad for his wife.
Every one please be careful on these roads. These people pass on curves, hills and double yellow lines. I have seen it 100 times.

I once was 18 and fearless-don't know how I survived those years. This is so sad and tragic. Unfortunately we have had many fatalities around the Tilden area too. The police presence around here is almost oppressive at times.

A tech should be able to adjust it. We have found our electric clocks to be unreliable out here and have battery clocks. To answer your question-the chance of damage should be neglible.

I am interested in gate work ! What is it ? Do you sit and guard a gate all day long ? What do they pay a beginner ? I did not want to read 109 pages to find out ! Have pity on this old man !
