Anson is the county seat of Jones County — courthouse security, county facilities, and the businesses around the square all run on licensed officers.
Eligibility: under Texas law (HB 1508), a criminal history may make you ineligible for a security officer license even after training — if anything in your record gives you pause, call the school at (956) 583-2004 before you enroll.
Anson Level II — Common Questions
Do I ever have to travel to Mission?
No. Level II at MLG is 100% online —
modules, exam, and certificate. (Our school is in Mission, TX, and you're welcome, but the
course never requires the trip.)
How long does it take?
The course is 6 hours of curriculum, self-paced.
Most students finish in one or two sittings; you have your access link the whole time.
What do I receive?
The official DPS training certificate (form PSP-36)
by email, plus the Level II Participant Guide — the course's basic reference document.
Can I work as a guard with just the certificate?
The certificate is your
training proof. Your Level II registration is completed in TOPS together with a licensed
security company employer, and DPS issues the pocket card you carry on duty.
What does it cost, all in?
Tuition here is $55 flat. DPS charges its own
application and fingerprint fees separately when you apply.
