Since 2006, Genuine Security has been the trusted name in professional security services across McAllen, San Antonio, and all of Texas. We are a fully licensed, owner-operated security guard company committed to protecting what matters most to you.
At Genuine Security, our commitment is to ensure the safety and well-being of each and every individual, participant, entertainer, patron and staff member alike. We understand how big a decision it is to trust a security company with what matters most — your safety, your business, your event, your family.
That's why all contact goes directly to ownership. No call centers, no middlemen, no exceptions. I stand 100% behind my company and every officer we deploy.
Founded in 2006 in the Rio Grande Valley, Genuine Security was built on a simple principle: provide honest, reliable, and professional security services that people can actually count on. Over the years, that principle has guided us as we've expanded to serve San Antonio and communities across the entire state of Texas.
Our owner remains personally involved in every contract, every deployment, and every client relationship. When you hire Genuine Security, you're not just hiring guards — you're getting a partner who is accountable, accessible, and invested in your protection around the clock.
For nearly two decades, Genuine Security has provided licensed, insured, and professional security guard services to businesses, events, and individuals across the state of Texas. Our commitment to accountability and direct ownership communication sets us apart from every other security company.
What sets Genuine Security apart is not just what we do, but how we do it. These core values guide every decision, every deployment, and every interaction with our clients.
Direct owner communication on every contract — no middlemen, no call centers. When you reach out to Genuine Security, you speak directly with ownership. That means faster answers, real solutions, and a level of personal responsibility you won't find at larger firms.
Our officers receive ongoing training in Texas security law, threat assessment, crowd management, de-escalation tactics, and emergency response procedures. We operate our own licensed training school to ensure every guard meets our rigorous standards before deployment.
Every security plan is built around your specific site, risk profile, and budget. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you need a single unarmed guard for a retail location or a full armed detail for a large-scale event, we tailor our services to fit your exact needs.
A visible security presence combined with effective communication prevents incidents before they occur. Our officers are trained to observe, assess, and act proactively — deterring threats through awareness and professionalism rather than reacting after the fact.
We operate with complete honesty, transparency, and professionalism in every interaction. From our pricing to our reporting to our conduct on-site, you can trust that Genuine Security will always do what's right — even when no one is watching.
Same-day and emergency deployment available 24/7/365. When security needs arise unexpectedly, Genuine Security is ready. Our rapid response capability means we can have trained, licensed officers on your site within hours — day or night, weekends and holidays included.
