Yes. Running a missing person investigation through a licensed Texas PI firm is fully legal. Licensed investigators can access databases, conduct field surveillance in public locations, interview witnesses, and document findings in a format appropriate for legal proceedings. Everything we do is within Texas law.

No. In Texas there's no mandatory waiting period. You can file immediately with the Houston Police Department or the Harris County Sheriff's Office. When time is a factor, we recommend filing a report and engaging a private investigator in parallel — law enforcement and a licensed PI can work the case at the same time.

In many cases, yes. Adults have the legal right to leave and cut off contact, but locating someone and contacting them are two different things. Our investigators can confirm a person's location and wellbeing and report that back to the family without making unwanted contact. We handle this with care and discretion every time.

For urgent cases, we can begin the same day you call. Our team is available 24/7, and we understand time-sensitive situations can't wait for a Monday-morning appointment. Call us and we'll tell you exactly what we can do and when we can start.

Cost depends on the scope, the number of investigation days, and what databases and field resources your case requires. We cover pricing in full during the confidential consultation — no surprises and no hidden fees. A confirmed location and documented welfare check has real value when you don't know where the person you love actually is.
