Secure transportation in Texas.

Vetted vehicles, trained protective drivers, and route planning across Texas — for executive arrivals, event coverage, multi-city movements, and the recurring transportation rhythms of principals and corporate executives operating in the state.

Operating in Texas

Why Texas specifically.

Texas is a market DAW operates in directly, under license TX C 31143701. That matters for secure transportation because the work involves both the protective discipline of the agent in the vehicle and the regulatory framework of who is allowed to perform that work — and where. In Texas, the answer is held under DAW Security's own licensure, not subcontracted.

Texas has a concentration of Fortune 500 corporate headquarters across Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston, oil-and-gas family wealth, and a fast-growing Austin tech and venture base. Transportation needs follow that geography. The principal calling from a family office in one city often travels regularly to another in the same state, and the Texas Triangle (Dallas-Houston-Austin) is large by any U.S. measure — three to four hours of driving between the apexes makes private aviation the default for multi-city executive movements. Coordination between cities, between vehicles, and between handoffs at airports and venues is built into the way DAW runs the service here.

Vehicles operated in Texas are unmarked executive sedans and SUVs maintained by DAW or DAW-vetted operators. Drivers are credentialed protective agents, not livery operators — capable of acting as protective coverage when the situation requires it. The arrival at DFW and IAH as international gateways; Dallas Love, Houston Hobby, Austin-Bergstrom, and a deep network of private aviation operators at Addison, Hooks, and Sugar Land flows through the same operations principal who handles the in-state movement that follows.

Texas Licensing

What TX C 31143701 covers.

In Texas, secure transportation involving armed or unarmed protective coverage of a vehicle's occupants requires the operator to hold the relevant private patrol or private security license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety. DAW Security holds active license TX C 31143701, and operates secure transportation under that license directly.

Practical effect: when a Texas family office or corporate office contracts DAW for a transportation engagement, the vehicle, the driver, and the protective coverage are all under a single license held by the firm — not three different subcontracted relationships. Documentation, credentialing, and insurance flow through one engagement letter.

Common Questions — Texas Secure Transportation

Answers specific to Texas.

Is DAW directly licensed for secure transportation in Texas?

Yes. DAW Security holds active license TX C 31143701 issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Secure transportation in Texas — armed or unarmed protective coverage of vehicle occupants — is performed under that license directly, not subcontracted.

What vehicles do you operate in Texas?

Unmarked executive sedans and SUVs, maintained on a recurring service schedule and matched to the principal's preferences. For elevated-threat periods or specific principals, armored options are coordinated. Vehicle ownership and operation stay with DAW; the principal isn't responsible for fleet management or maintenance.

Can the same driver be requested across recurring engagements?

Yes — driver continuity is a standard feature of recurring secure transportation in Texas. The same trained driver, the same vehicle, on the principal's routine. Vacation and rotation coverage is handled in the background by the operations principal coordinating the engagement, not surfaced to the principal.

How quickly can secure transportation be arranged in Texas?

For existing clients with a known operating profile, same-day stand-up is routine. For first-time engagements, 24 to 48 hours allows for proper advance work — vehicle staging, driver assignment, route familiarization, and any coordination with venue security or hotel logistics.

Do you coordinate with private aviation in Texas?

Yes. DAW coordinates ground transportation at DFW and IAH as international gateways; Dallas Love, Houston Hobby, Austin-Bergstrom, and a deep network of private aviation operators at Addison, Hooks, and Sugar Land. The protective driver is staged before the principal's arrival, FBO handoffs are pre-coordinated, and the transition from aircraft to vehicle to destination is handled as a single sequence.
