Austin Private Detective Agency | ObjectWire Investigations

ObjectWire is a licensed private detective agency based in Austin, Texas. We handle investigative cases for private individuals, attorneys, law firms, insurance carriers, and businesses throughout Travis County and Central Texas. Every case is assigned to a licensed investigator operating under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1702.

We are not a national franchise. We are a locally operated Austin agency with investigators who know the city, the courts, and the specific requirements that make evidence admissible in Travis County Family Court and Texas civil proceedings. For a full overview of available services, see the services hub.

We operate across two practice areas: investigative services and professional media services. Every investigative engagement is handled with confidentiality, documented to evidentiary standards, and reported clearly to the client at case close.

• Surveillance — covert photo and video documentation for domestic, legal, and corporate cases
• Infidelity investigations — cheating spouse and domestic partner cases with timestamped evidence
• Missing persons — locate missing adults, runaways, and estranged family members
• Background check investigations — criminal history, employment verification, identity research
• Skip tracing — locate debtors, witnesses, defendants, and estranged contacts
• Child custody investigations — parental surveillance and verification for family court
• Workers compensation fraud — claimant surveillance for insurers and defense attorneys
• Corporate investigations — employee misconduct, IP theft, fraud, and due diligence
• Fact-finding and evidence collection — witness interviews, scene documentation, case research

Every case begins with a free confidential consultation. We assess what is achievable, what evidence standards apply to your situation, and what a realistic timeline and cost looks like before any work begins. We do not take cases we cannot deliver on.

Field surveillance is conducted using licensed investigators with professional-grade recording equipment. All documentation is timestamped, geotagged where applicable, and compiled into a written case report suitable for use in Texas court proceedings. We coordinate directly with attorneys when cases are litigation-bound.

Our digital forensics unit handles cases involving online harassment, catfishing, identity fraud, and dark-web exposure. We can uncover hidden email accounts, social media aliases, cryptocurrency wallet activity, and references to a subject across public and semi-public online spaces.

Digital forensics work is particularly relevant to corporate IP theft cases, harassment restraining-order support, and infidelity investigations where communication records and account activity are in question. All digital evidence is documented in a chain-of-custody format appropriate for Texas court proceedings.

Our investigators are based in Austin and operate throughout Travis County, Williamson County, Hays County, Bastrop County, and Caldwell County. We routinely take cases in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Pflugerville, and Leander.

Out-of-area cases are handled on a case-by-case basis with travel fees disclosed at consultation.

All investigative work performed by ObjectWire is conducted in compliance with Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1702, which governs private security and investigations in the state. Our investigators are individually licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety.

We do not engage in illegal surveillance, unauthorized wiretapping, or any activity prohibited under Texas or federal law. Evidence gathered outside legal bounds is inadmissible and exposes clients to civil liability. Every engagement is structured to stay within legal limits while producing the most useful possible documentation.
