Special Investigations Group launches Texas Investigator Institute:

A New Standard in Private Investigator Training

AUSTIN, TX — Special Investigations Group (SIG), one of Texas’s leading private investigative firms with over 130 years of qualified experience, is proud to announce the official launch of Texas Investigator Institute (TII)—a comprehensive training academy designed to prepare the next generation of licensed private investigators in Texas. With a mission to provide real-world, legally compliant, and professionally driven education, TII is dedicated to become a cornerstone for investigative excellence across the state.

A New Era for Investigator Education in Texas

The private investigations industry is evolving rapidly, driven by advances in technology, heightened legal standards, and growing demand for investigative services in civil, criminal, and corporate sectors. Recognizing the need for a formal training academy that blends practical experience with classroom instruction, Special Investigations Group created Texas Investigator Institute to bridge that gap.

“Too many new investigators enter the field unprepared for the realities of casework,” says the Director of Training at SIG. “We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from the field—criminal cases, surveillance, OSINT, infidelity, insurance fraud, interviews, and more—and built a training academy that prepares students for what really happens beyond the classroom.”

What Makes Texas Investigator Institute Different?

Unlike generic online courses or theory-heavy programs, Texas Investigator Institute is field-tested, Texas-specific, and career-focused. Developed by working professionals, the curriculum aligns with Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Texas Occupations Code requirements while diving deeper into the specialized skills that clients and agencies expect today.

Highlights of the Institute Include:

• 18-Hour Introductory Private Investigator Course – Covering licensing, ethics, laws, and investigative fundamentals.

• Specialty Certifications – Including Criminal Investigator, Body Language, OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), Surveillance Techniques, Insurance Fraud, Infidelity & Domestic Cases, and Cybercrime Investigations.

• Live & On-Demand Modules – Flexible scheduling for busy professionals or career-changers.

• In Person Hands-On Field Exercises are available – Learn from licensed instructors with years of boots-on-the-ground experience.

• Texas-Focused Legal Training – Understand the state’s unique rules on evidence, GPS use, recording laws, and more.

• Career Development Support – From mentorship to resume building and real case report writing.

Built by Investigators, For Investigators

The strength of TII comes from the deep investigative bench behind SIG. Special Investigations Group has conducted thousands of cases across Texas—from Austin to Dallas, Houston to El Paso—giving them the insight needed to train students with realism, ethics, and confidence. Now that experience is being passed on directly through the Texas Investigator Institute.

Whether you’re a military veteran, former law enforcement officer, recent investigator, or someone changing careers, TII equips you with the tools to investigate legally, professionally, and effectively.

Now Enrolling: Set Your Career in Motion

Enrollment for Texas Investigator Institute’s courses is now open. Aspiring PIs, agency employees, and continuing education candidates are encouraged to apply early, as class sizes are limited to ensure quality instruction and individual attention. In person one on one or small group classes can be set up upon request.

TII also supports investigative agencies looking to up skill their teams or onboard new hires. Bulk registration options and agency partnerships are available.
