The Signs That Brought You Here Are Usually Real
Most of our Houston clients come to us after weeks of noticing the same patterns we’ve documented in hundreds of Houston Child Custody Investigations across Harris County. If any of these sound familiar, your instincts are probably right.
A New Hire Needs More Than a Resume
You are growing your business and you need people around you that you can trust. A resume tells you what someone wants you to know. A background investigation tells you what they did not include. Employment history gaps, undisclosed criminal records, identity discrepancies, and professional license fraud are things we find regularly in Houston background investigation cases.
A New Relationship Does Not Have a Paper Trail
Online dating, new romances, and reconnected relationships all come with a version of someone that has been curated. That is not always sinister, but it can be. Our investigators help Houston individuals verify that the person they are getting close to is who they say they are, including criminal history, prior marriages, children, financial judgments, and address history.
A Tenant Application Looks Good on Paper
A strong application and a steady-seeming applicant can still have a history that matters. Houston landlords use our background investigations to verify income, confirm residential history, check for prior evictions, and review criminal background before handing over keys. It is the part of tenant screening that free online tools simply do not do.
A Business Partner Needs to Check Out
Before you sign anything or invest anything, you need to know who you are signing with. We run thorough Houston background investigations on prospective business partners, investors, contractors, and vendors, covering entity history, litigation records, regulatory filings, financial patterns, and personal background.
A Legal Case Requires Verified Facts
Attorneys and their clients use our Houston background investigations to build and support legal strategies, locate witnesses, verify testimony, and surface prior conduct that is relevant to active civil or criminal matters. We structure our reports to hold up in a Harris County courtroom.
Something Simply Did Not Add Up
Sometimes there is no single red flag, just a feeling that the story has not been told completely. That instinct is worth listening to. Our investigators work through what you know, what does not match, and what we can verify, and deliver a clear picture before you make a decision you cannot undo.
Confidential Process From the First Call.
We keep this simple because you already have enough on your mind. From the first phone call to the moment we hand you a report, our Houston team handles every step with discretion.
01
Confidential
Consultation
You tell us what you need and why. We listen, ask the right questions, and give you an honest assessment of what our Houston background investigations can realistically accomplish for your specific situation. If a full investigation is not what the moment calls for, we will tell you that too. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just straight information from investigators who have handled cases like yours before.
02
We Build Your
Investigative Plan
Not every background investigation is the same. A pre-employment check looks different from a due diligence investigation on a business partner, which looks different from vetting someone in a new personal relationship. Our investigators build the scope around your actual goals, the right sources, the right verification steps, and the right format for how you plan to use the findings.
03
You Receive a Clear, Documented Report
When the investigation closes, you receive a comprehensive report with everything we documented, verified facts, source references, and a clean summary you can act on directly. No padding, no filler, just what we found.
evidence we capture
What Our Houston Background Investigations Include
Every background investigation is shaped by what the situation requires. Here is what we bring to the work.
Identity Verification & Address History
Confirmed identity matched against government records, and a full address history across Texas counties and beyond. We verify that the person is who they say they are before any other layer of the investigation begins, because everything else depends on getting that right.
Criminal History Across Texas & Federal Records
Criminal background research across Texas county court systems and federal records, including felonies, misdemeanors, pending charges, and prior convictions. We go beyond the databases that consumer background check services rely on and pull directly from source records where applicable.
Civil Court Records & Litigation History
Civil court research covering judgments, liens, lawsuits, restraining orders, and ongoing litigation across Harris County and surrounding jurisdictions. Civil records frequently tell the story that criminal records do not, and they matter in hiring decisions, business partnerships, and legal strategy.
Employment & Professional License Verification
Direct verification of employment history, including job titles, dates of employment, reason for separation, and whether stated credentials actually exist. Professional license verification is run through Texas state licensing boards to confirm that what is on the resume reflects what is on the record.
Financial Background & Public Filings
Research into bankruptcies, tax liens, public financial judgments, and business entity records. This layer of the investigation is particularly important in due diligence cases, business partnership evaluations, and any situation where financial credibility is part of the decision.
Social Media & Digital Footprint Review
Analysis of public social media profiles, digital check-ins, and online presence to surface behavioral patterns, associations, inconsistencies with stated background, and location information the subject may not have intended to make visible. This frequently surfaces significant findings before any other field work begins.
Where We Work Across the Houston Metro
Our Houston background investigations cover Harris County and the full surrounding metro, because background cases often require record pulls, field verification, or source interviews across multiple jurisdictions. In our experience working hundreds of Houston cases, the most important details are frequently in the county the client did not expect. We are ready for all of it.
Inside the loop, we work River Oaks, Memorial, The Heights, Montrose, West University, Bellaire, and Midtown. Out west and southwest, we cover Katy, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Stafford, and Cinco Ranch. North of the city, we handle The Woodlands, Spring, Tomball, Cypress, Kingwood, and Humble. To the south and southeast, we cover Pearland, Friendswood, League City, Clear Lake, and Pasadena.
We hold jurisdiction and run active Houston background investigations throughout Harris County, Fort Bend County, Montgomery County, and Brazoria County. Texas DPS Licensed. A30913601.

Common Questions About Houston Background Investigations
Most people who reach out to us have never hired a private investigator before. Below we have answered the questions Houston clients ask us most before they pick up the phone.
Is a background investigation the same as a background check?
Not exactly. Standard background checks are automated database pulls that miss a lot. Our Houston background investigations are conducted by licensed investigators who verify records across multiple sources, follow up on inconsistencies, and produce a report structured for professional or legal decisions, not just a printed form.
What can a licensed PI find that a background check service cannot?
Quite a bit. Licensed investigators can access court records across multiple jurisdictions, conduct physical record verification, interview sources, pull public records that are not indexed in commercial databases, and document findings in a format that holds up in a Texas court or professional review. We find things automated tools consistently miss.
Is it legal to investigate someone in Texas?
Yes. Background investigations conducted by licensed Texas private investigators using public records and publicly available sources are fully legal. We operate within Texas law on every case.
How long does a Houston background investigation take?
Most Houston background investigation cases complete within three to seven business days depending on scope, the number of jurisdictions involved, and whether physical verification is required. We will give you a realistic timeline during the consultation.
How much does a Houston background investigation cost?
Cost depends on the scope of the investigation and what verification is required. We cover pricing in full during the confidential consultation with no surprises and no hidden fees.
A Message From Terrance
I get it, and I want you to know you are not the first Houston client to sit where you are sitting right now, and you will not be the last. I have been doing this work since 2012, and the one thing I have learned is that people do not come to a private investigator because they want to. They come because they need to know. My job is to get you that answer, document it the right way, and treat you with the respect you deserve while we do it.
When you call our office, you are talking to me or someone I personally trained. That is the way it should be.
