Guardtexas, Inc

GuardTexas, Inc. is a Texas-based Private Security firm formerly known as Executive Security Systems. The company’s present-day chairman, Larry R. Hardtner, founded Executive Security Systems in 1976. Over the last four decades, the company has grown from a stationary guard franchise with locations in Dallas and Austin to an independent, full-service security provider with branches throughout the state and operations in every major city. Today, the company has a distinguished portfolio of clients in a wide range of industries and settings, from Class A high rises and corporate centers to retail properties, healthcare facilities, industrial sites, and residential communities. In 2016, Executive Security Systems changed its name to GuardTexas, a name that better reflects the company’s brand and unique market positioning. GuardTexas is the answer for Texas buyers seeking a stable guard solution in an industry shaken by large-scale mergers and acquisitions. GuardTexas has been rock-solid for over 40 years, continuously owned and operated by the same group of native Texans. United in their commitment to the Texas market, the owners have no aspirations to expand beyond state borders. Their vision for the future is to continue achieving steady, sustainable growth the way the company always has: by delivering outstanding service and superior value.
