Working in Houston
Greater Houston.
Houston is where A True P.I. is based. It is the fourth largest city in the United States, it is the largest in the South, and it is one of the most diverse places in the country - which affects investigative work in ways people from outside the city do not always anticipate. A subject here can be at home in three different communities across four counties in the same week.
Scale is the other factor. Greater Houston sprawls across Harris County and well beyond it, and a surveillance plan that does not account for the Loop, the Beltway and an hour of traffic each way is a plan that burns a day. Local knowledge is not a marketing line here, it is the difference between a productive shift and an expensive one.
A True P.I. works the whole state, from the Red River to the Rio Grande. The four metros below are where the agency keeps people and where most cases start.
The case mix here
What Houston actually calls about.
Energy and industry
Corporate due diligence, contractor fraud, intellectual property and workplace investigations around the Energy Corridor, the Ship Channel and the petrochemical belt.
Family matters across four counties
Divorce and custody work in Greater Houston routinely crosses county lines, and so do the records that go with it.
Claims and comp
A large industrial and logistics workforce means steady workers compensation and liability investigation for carriers and employers.
Statewide
The rest of Texas is not an afterthought.
Houston is the base, not the boundary. Cases run out along the Gulf Coast, up to the Piney Woods and across the state, and records and asset work is run nationally.
Courts and records
Why the county matters.
Harris County is one of the largest court systems in the country and the surrounding counties each run their own. A records search that only covers Harris misses a subject who was sued in Fort Bend, divorced in Montgomery and owns a lot in Brazoria. Coverage here means all five.

Houston
Asked most often in Houston.
Are you actually based in Houston?
Yes. Houston is where the agency started and where most cases still start. We also work Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Meetings are by appointment, at a place that suits you — coming to an investigator’s office is not something everybody wants to be seen doing.
Do you cover the suburbs, or only inside the Loop?
The whole metro: Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands, Cypress, Clear Lake, Pasadena and out to Galveston. Coverage runs across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria and Galveston counties.
How does Houston traffic affect a surveillance job?
More than clients expect. A subject who commutes from Katy to downtown is a different operation from one who never leaves the Heights. The plan accounts for it, which is most of why local knowledge is worth paying for.
Can you handle a case that crosses into another county?
Routinely. Records are pulled from whichever county holds them and fieldwork goes wherever the subject does. The state license covers all of Texas.
Where we work
Four metros, and the rest of Texas.
Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio are where most cases start. Coverage runs to the whole state, and records and asset work is run nationally.
