Private Detective Houston TX | ObjectWire Investigations

ObjectWire is a licensed private detective agency based in Austin, Texas, with active case operations in Houston and throughout Harris County. We serve clients in the Greater Houston area on domestic, legal support, and corporate investigation matters, deploying field investigators on-site when required and handling research and documentation remotely where appropriate.

Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, with one of the most complex legal and corporate environments in Texas. Harris County District Courts, the Harris County Family Law Center, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas all handle cases requiring third-party investigative support. We have direct experience preparing evidence packages for proceedings in all of these venues.

For full agency licensing information, see the Austin Private Detective Agency page. For our complete list of services, visit the Services hub.

All core investigative services are available to Houston-area clients. Fieldwork is dispatched from our Austin base or handled by vetted contract investigators licensed in Texas operating in the Greater Houston area.

Our Houston coverage area spans Harris County and its immediate neighboring counties. We serve clients in central Houston as well as outlying communities and suburbs including:

• Central Houston — Downtown, Midtown, Montrose, Heights, Museum District
• West Houston — Galleria, Memorial, Energy Corridor, Katy
• Southwest — Sugar Land, Missouri City, Stafford, Pearland
• North Houston — The Woodlands, Spring, Humble, Kingwood
• East Houston — Baytown, Pasadena, Clear Lake, League City

For cases requiring sustained multi-day fieldwork in Houston, we coordinate locally to ensure timely on-site presence. All investigators operating on our behalf carry valid Texas PI licenses and operate under our agency supervision.

Houston's size, industry mix, and legal infrastructure drive a distinct case mix compared to other Texas cities. The most common cases we handle for Houston clients:

• Energy sector corporate investigations — Houston hosts the headquarters of Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Halliburton, and hundreds of mid-size energy firms. Employee misconduct, trade secret misappropriation, and vendor fraud are recurring case types. See Corporate Investigations.
• Workers compensation fraud — Harris County accounts for a significant share of Texas workers comp claims. We conduct claimant surveillance and activity verification for insurers, self-insured employers, and defense law firms. See Workers Comp Fraud Investigations.
• Harris County Family Law cases — Child custody disputes, divorce proceedings, and protective order support involving surveillance evidence. The Harris County Family Law Center processes thousands of contested cases annually. See Child Custody Investigations.
• Skip tracing and debt recovery — The Houston metro is one of the largest debtor populations in the country. We locate individuals across Harris County and Greater Houston for creditors, attorneys, and process servers. See Skip Tracing.
• Infidelity and domestic surveillance — Marital infidelity investigations and partner surveillance are handled with full discretion. Timestamped evidence is prepared to meet Texas family court standards. See Infidelity Investigations.

All engagements begin with a confidential consultation — by phone, video, or secure message. No obligation, no upfront commitment. We assess the facts of your case, explain what investigative approach is realistic given your jurisdiction and timeline, and provide a written scope and fee estimate before any work begins.

For Houston cases requiring physical fieldwork, we dispatch licensed investigators to Harris County. For research-based cases (background checks, skip tracing, document verification), all work is conducted remotely and delivered securely. Most remote deliverables are turned around within 3-5 business days.

Evidence packages are formatted for admissibility in Texas civil proceedings. Reports include timestamped media, GPS-referenced activity logs where applicable, and written summaries suitable for attorney use.

We also serve clients in Dallas and the DFW Metroplex and across Texas from our Austin home base.
