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.
Rowlett Level III Theory — Common Questions
Is the whole Level III license online?
No — and any school that tells
you otherwise is cutting a corner Texas doesn't allow. The theory (8 modules + exam) is
100% online here. The skills and firearms portion — defensive tactics, handcuffing,
intermediate weapons, range qualification — must be done in person with a DPS-licensed
instructor. This course covers the theory half and documents it properly.
Who can be my local instructor?
Any DPS-licensed Level III instructor
or training school near Rowlett — the choice is yours. They run your hands-on
sessions and sign the self-defense and firearm sections of your PSP-30.
What do I receive from MLG?
Your PSP-30 certificate with the
classroom (theory) section completed and issued by our school, plus the Level III
Participant Guide — the course's basic reference document.
What does it cost, all in?
Tuition here is $100 flat, covering the
full online theory and your PSP-30 classroom certificate. Your local instructor sets
their own fee for the hands-on skills/firearms portion — ask when you book. DPS also
charges its own application and fingerprint fees separately when you apply.
How long does the theory take?
It's self-paced — study the 8 modules
in order, on any device, and your progress is saved to your student record the whole way.
