Licensed, Insured, and Accountable Security in Houston
Hiring a security company means handing over responsibility for your people and property, so credentials matter. Imperial Hospitality Services operates under Texas Department of Public Safety License #B07323101 and carries full liability insurance for every assignment. Our guards are vetted through background screening, trained to state standards, and supervised in the field — not simply dropped at a post and forgotten. We have served the Greater Houston area for over a decade, and much of our business comes from property managers and event organizers who found us through referrals after being let down by staffing-agency security.
Every engagement starts with a site assessment. We walk your property, identify vulnerable points, review access and lighting, and build written post orders so your guards know exactly what is expected on every shift. You get a single point of contact, and we get a clear standard to hold our team to.
Industries and Properties We Protect
Commercial Properties & Property Management
Office buildings, mixed-use developments, and managed communities rely on us for access control, tenant safety, and courtesy patrols. If you manage property in Houston, our post on why property managers are hiring security guards covers what a professional guard program should look like.
Construction Sites
Job sites are prime targets for material theft, equipment vandalism, and trespassing after hours. We provide overnight and weekend coverage with documented patrol rounds — see our guide on construction site security in Houston for what that protects you against.
Corporate Offices
From lobby and reception security to executive protection details, we help Houston businesses maintain a professional, secure workplace. Our guards are trained to be as courteous as they are vigilant — they are often the first face your visitors see.
Retail & Shopping Centers
Visible, uniformed deterrence reduces shrinkage and makes customers feel safe. We coordinate with store management on loss-prevention priorities and trespass enforcement.
Residential Communities & HOAs
Gated-entry staffing, vehicle patrols, and courtesy patrol services keep neighborhoods quiet and residents reassured, with nightly reporting your board can actually review.
Events & Venues
Concerts, galas, corporate functions, and private parties each carry their own risk profile. For dedicated event coverage, see our event security services in Houston.

Technology-Backed Patrols with TX Patrol™
Most security companies ask you to take their word that rounds were completed. We do not. Every Imperial guard operates on TX Patrol™, our proprietary patrol management platform built in-house. Guards clock in with device-bound credentials, hit GPS-verified checkpoints on every round, and file timestamped Daily Activity Reports and photo-documented Incident Reports from the field.
For you, that means verifiable accountability: a record of when your property was patrolled, what was observed, and how incidents were handled — available for your review instead of buried in a paper logbook. Read how patrol software is modernizing security operations.
How Our Security Guard Process Works
1. Free consultation. Tell us about your property, your concerns, and your coverage hours — by phone at (832) 400-2146 or through our free quote form.
2. Site assessment & proposal. We evaluate the site, recommend armed or unarmed coverage and staffing levels, and deliver a clear written proposal with no hidden fees.
3. Post orders & deployment. We document site-specific instructions, brief the assigned guards, and deploy on your schedule — permanent posts, rotating patrols, or one-time coverage.
4. Reporting & supervision. Field supervisors conduct spot checks, and TX Patrol™ reporting keeps every shift transparent. You will always know the coverage you paid for is the coverage you received.
Need more than security? We frequently pair guard services with valet parking and concierge staffing for a complete guest-facing team — browse all our services.
Security Guard Services in Houston — FAQ
Are your security guards licensed in Texas?
Yes. Imperial Hospitality Services is licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (License #B07323101), and every guard we deploy holds the required state credentials for their assignment. We maintain full insurance coverage and can provide certificates of insurance to property managers and venues on request.
Do you provide both armed and unarmed security guards?
We provide unarmed and armed guard options depending on the risk profile of your property or event. During your free consultation we assess your site, foot traffic, hours of coverage, and threat level, then recommend the appropriate guard type and staffing plan.
Can you cover short-term or one-time assignments?
Yes. We staff everything from single-night event coverage and temporary construction-site protection to permanent, year-round posts. There is no long-term contract requirement for short-term assignments — you pay for the coverage you need.
How do I know your guards are actually making their rounds?
Every patrol is tracked through TX Patrol™, our proprietary guard patrol management platform. Guards check in at GPS-verified checkpoints, and every shift produces timestamped Daily Activity Reports and photo-documented incident reports you can review, so accountability is built into the service rather than promised on trust.
How quickly can you deploy guards to my Houston property?
For most assignments inside the Greater Houston area we can complete a site assessment and deploy guards within a few business days; urgent event or emergency coverage can often be arranged faster. Call (832) 400-2146 or request a free quote online to get a same-day response.
