Steps
Verify whether the entity needs a Class B Security Contractor Company License, which covers the locksmith category alongside alarm, armored car, and guard services, via the DPS Private Security Program.
Designate a Qualified Manager with relevant experience who will pass the written exam on the Texas Private Security Act and administrative rules.
Create an account in the Texas Online Private Security (TOPS) system and submit the company license application, fees, and required documentation electronically.
Ensure each individual performing locksmith work under the company holds the appropriate individual registration required by the Private Security Bureau.
Monitor license expiration and renewal deadlines through TOPS to avoid a lapse.
Known gotchas
The 'locksmith license' is really a category under the broader Class B security contractor company license, not a stand-alone locksmith credential; plan the Qualified Manager exam around the security-contractor rules.
PSB rules and TOPS requirements are updated periodically; confirm current fee amounts and exam content directly on dps.texas.gov before applying.
