Understanding the Texas Level 3 Security Officer MMPI Requirement – And Why Choosing the Right Provider Matters

If you’re planning to become a Texas Level 3 Commissioned Security Officer, you must complete a psychological evaluation using the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). This evaluation is not optional—it’s a required step by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to ensure you do not have a mental health condition that would interfere with you carrying a firearm and performing armed security duties.

At Train Protect Defend, we’ve partnered with Dr. Huntly Shelton, a licensed psychologist, to offer MMPI evaluations both in-person most Thursdays at 407 Gun Club in Argyle, TX, or through a secure and monitored online option for individuals who are not able to attend a Thursday in-person evaluation.

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a scientifically validated psychological test used to assess mental health, personality traits, and emotional stability. It is widely recognized as the gold standard for evaluating fitness-for-duty in law enforcement, military, and private security settings.

For Texas Commissioned Security Officers, completing and passing the MMPI is a mandatory requirement before your Level 3 license can be approved
