What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Texas Private Investigator License?

In Texas, the minimum age requirement to apply for a Private Investigator License is 18 years old. This is established to ensure that individuals entering this profession have reached a level of maturity and personal responsibility that is typically expected of adults. Being at least 18 years old also aligns with other legal standards for entering into contracts and legal agreements, which are fundamental aspects of the work undertaken by private investigators. This requirement serves to protect both the clients hiring private investigators and the integrity of the investigative profession itself.
