GPS tracking is powerful. It gives you the proof you need. But if you mess up the legal side of things, that evidence is totally worthless in court. That is why every Private Investigator in Dallas, Texas, has to be super careful about Texas law. We do not mess around with this stuff.

The Big Texas Law We Have to Follow

The main rule we follow is actually a crime, a Class A Misdemeanor, for anyone to knowingly install a GPS tracker on a car that belongs to someone else. We have to follow the Written Consent Rule.

It All Comes Down to the Paperwork

• You Own the Car: If your name is on the title or the lease for the car we need to track, you sign the paperwork, and we’re good to go. That’s the easiest scenario.
• You DON’T Own the Car: If the car is only in your spouse’s name, the subject of the investigation and not yours, I cannot legally put a tracker on it. A client can’t permit me to put something on property they don’t own.

For you to legally put a tracker on a vehicle for an investigation, you need written consent from the person who actually owns or leases the car. This is the non-negotiable part.

If you ignore that rule, the evidence you gather is instantly inadmissible in court; your whole case gets weaker. You could get fined or even end up facing jail time.

Here at Bring ’em In Investigations, we handle tracking legally so your evidence is rock-solid and usable when you need it most. That is the difference between a real Private Investigator in Dallas, Texas, and someone just guessing at the law.
