The Texas Licensing Imperative (Tex. Occ. Code § 1702)
Under Texas law (Tex. Occ. Code § 1702.104), collecting or analyzing electronic evidence for use in civil or criminal proceedings constitutes regulated private investigations work under the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Private Security Board (PSB). Unlicensed computer technicians, internal corporate IT personnel, and out-of-state consultants who conduct forensic examinations in Texas without a PSB license operate in violation of state law—exposing the client’s evidence to exclusion on a motion in limine.
E-Investigations (License #A1702) maintains full Texas DPS PSB licensure, bonding, insurance, and physical evidence vault security at our Houston, Texas digital forensics laboratory to guarantee unassailable chain of custody and courtroom admissibility.
