About this exam
The Texas Level II Non-Commissioned Security Officer Examination is associated with the required Level II training for people seeking work as unarmed security officers in Texas. It assesses foundational knowledge for the role, rather than qualifying candidates as peace officers or commissioned officers. Applicants commonly complete the training and examination through a provider approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Program. Registration requirements and provider procedures can change, so check current state guidance and confirm the process with your training provider.
Expect review of the responsibilities and limits of a non-commissioned security officer, professional conduct, communication, and basic legal concepts relevant to private security in Texas. The course and exam should help confirm that candidates understand how to perform assigned duties responsibly, interact with the public, and recognize when an issue should be referred to law enforcement. For preparation, study the current course materials carefully and focus on applying rules to practical situations—not just memorizing terms. Your provider can confirm the current exam format and any course-specific requirements.

- Review your approved Level II course materials on officer roles, professional responsibilities, ethics, communication, and the limits of authority, including detention.
- Use short, timed multiple-choice review sessions to check understanding. For each missed question, explain why the correct response fits the officer’s role and limits.
