If you’re worried about your child’s safety or your parental rights, you’re not overreacting and you’re not alone.

Terrance Private Investigator & Associates handles Houston child custody investigations across Harris County the right way: discreet surveillance, court-ready evidence, and real answers, so you can protect your kids and walk into family court knowing exactly what’s going on.
Every situation is different, and every investigation starts with a conversation. We listen, answer your questions, and recommend the best approach based on your goals. Whether you need proof, peace of mind, or evidence for court, we’re here to help.

With 17+ years of investigative experience across the Houston metro, we know how custody cases actually play out — how quickly a subject moves from one neighborhood to the next, and what a Harris County family court needs to see before it acts. Every case is built on legal, time-stamped photo and video documentation and discreet surveillance the other parent never notices, so what we hand you or your attorney holds up.
Custody situations don’t stay inside one zip code, so neither do we. Our Houston child custody investigations cover the full metro and surrounding counties — surveillance often starts in one neighborhood, follows a subject across the loop, and ends somewhere you never expected. Inside the loop we work River Oaks, Memorial, The Heights, Montrose, West University, Bellaire, and Midtown. We also cover Katy, Sugar Land, Missouri City, The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, Kingwood, Pearland, Friendswood, League City, and Clear Lake, with jurisdiction across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Brazoria counties (Texas DPS Licensed, A30913601).

Most parents who reach out to us about a Houston child custody investigation have never hired a private investigator before, and they have questions first. That’s the right instinct. Here are the answers Houston clients ask for most — what’s legal in Texas, how surveillance works, and what evidence holds up in family court.
Yes. Texas is a one-party consent state for recordings you're part of, and surveillance in public places by a licensed investigator is fully legal. We never break the law to get evidence — anything obtained illegally would be useless to you anyway.
Yes — that's the entire point of how we build every case. Our reports are structured to meet Harris County family court standards: time-stamped photo and video, written investigator observations, GPS records where applicable, and a clean summary your attorney can reference or introduce directly.
Confidentiality and counter-detection are central to how we work. Our investigators use vehicles and methods suited to the other party's area, and we don't discuss your case with anyone but you and your attorney. In our experience, the other party only learns about it when the evidence is presented in court — which is exactly how it should be.
Most cases resolve in three to ten days of active surveillance, depending on what behavior needs documenting and how often it occurs. During your consultation we'll give you a realistic timeline. Urgent cases, like a suspected unauthorized relocation, can be prioritized and started immediately.
Cost depends on the scope, the number of surveillance days, and what documentation your case needs. We cover pricing in full during the confidential consultation — no surprises, no hidden fees. Documented evidence from a well-run custody investigation typically carries real weight when it's time to modify or enforce a custody order in Texas.
If you’re dealing with a custody dispute in Houston, we’re ready to help. Whether you’re worried about your child’s safety during visits, a co-parent’s living situation, or you need documented evidence for a modification, our experienced investigators are here to listen, answer your questions, and help you take the next step.
