Company licenses are limited to the services they specifically cover, and license holders cannot act outside that scope.
Sec. 1702.103. CLASSIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF COMPANY LICENSES. (a) The company license classifications are: (1) Class A: investigations company license, covering operations of an investigations company; (2) Class B: security services contractor license, covering operations of a security services contractor; (3) Class C: covering the operations included within Class A and Class B; (4) Class F: level III training school license; and (5) Class O: alarm level I training school license.

A person may not engage in an operation outside the scope of that person's company license. The department shall indicate on the company license the services the company license holder is authorized to perform. The company license holder may not perform a service unless it is indicated on the company license. (c) A company license is not assignable unless the assignment is approved in advance by the department. (d) The commission shall prescribe by rule the procedure under which a company license may be terminated. (e) The commission by rule may establish other company license classifications for activities expressly regulated by this chapter and may establish qualifications and practice requirements consistent with this chapter for those company license classifications.
