Private Investigations
Court-aware facts. Discreet fieldwork. Clear documentation.
1834 Security & Investigations Services provides licensed private investigation support for law firms, businesses, insurance-related matters, and private clients across Central Texas and beyond.
Our investigative work is built for situations where facts matter, documentation matters, and the way information is gathered can affect the outcome. We approach each matter with discretion, lawful methods, and a clear understanding that sensitive issues often involve legal, financial, personal, reputational, or safety-related concerns.
Our background includes law enforcement, civil affairs, emergency management, corporate security operations, and field investigation experience. That gives us a practical understanding of evidence, risk, human behavior, timelines, and documentation.
We are not a database-only provider. Our work combines field experience, lawful information gathering, documentation discipline, and practical judgment.

Investigation Services
Corporate & Workplace Investigations
We help organizations review sensitive internal issues where neutrality, documentation, and professional judgment are important. This may include misconduct concerns, harassment or intimidation allegations, workplace incidents, conflicts of interest, misuse of company resources, and other integrity-related matters.
Surveillance & Activity Checks
When appropriate and lawful, we provide discreet observation, activity checks, and documentation for matters involving claims, custody concerns, domestic issues, workplace questions, or other situations where verified facts are needed.
Domestic, Family & Custody Matters
Not every serious matter is corporate. We assist individuals, families, and attorneys with sensitive domestic and civil concerns, including custody-related matters, high-conflict interactions, harassment or stalking concerns, unwanted contact, and situations where clear documentation may help inform the next step.
Litigation Support
We support attorneys and legal teams with practical investigative work that helps clarify facts, timelines, people, places, patterns, and available information. Our work is designed to support legal strategy without creating unnecessary noise.
Background & Due Diligence Intelligence
We provide context-focused background research for sensitive decisions involving people, vendors, partners, key hires, transactions, disputes, or reputational concerns. The goal is to identify useful information, patterns, and red flags that may not appear in a basic search.
Civil Locates & Missing Persons
We conduct civil locate work for witnesses, former associates, heirs, beneficiaries, estranged individuals, hard-to-reach people, and other non-criminal locate needs. Our approach is discreet, lawful, and focused on connecting clients with usable information.
How We Think About Investigations
Every matter starts with three questions.
What is actually at issue?
Who can be affected legally, financially, personally, professionally, or physically?
What information would change the decision in front of you?
Our job is to quietly move the matter from allegations, instincts, uncertainty, or concern toward facts, options, and documentation. We do that without making the situation louder, riskier, or more complicated than it needs to be.
Why 1834
Investigations rarely exist in a vacuum. A workplace concern may also involve safety. A domestic matter may also involve protective planning. A legal matter may also affect reputation, business continuity, or personal security.
1834 brings a broader view of risk to investigative work. We consider the people involved, the environment, the documentation needs, the legal or reputational exposure, and the outcome the client needs to protect.
