Lesson notes & sources
Your state entry route
For an unarmed job, confirm the entry requirements with your employer and the worksite's local licensing office. Official DPS security guard permit materials concern carrying a concealed weapon.
Request the employer's written unarmed training requirements and any client or local conditions before paying for training.
Confirm the vacancy
Obtain the job description, unarmed status and worksite address.
Check the local route
Ask the employer and city or county licensing office about permits applicable to your duties.
Complete hiring checks
Supply requested identification and screening documents through the employer's process.
Finish site induction
Confirm reporting, emergency and escalation procedures before your first shift.
Confirm your situation
Official sources checked provide incomplete statewide unarmed guidance.
A firearms permit page does not establish the requirements for every unarmed role.
Keep your sources current
These sources were checked on 2026-09-16. Ask the named authority and employer to confirm the remaining local requirements.
The Get Licensed foundations course is supplementary preparation. Follow the required approved training and authorisation process for your location.
