Surveillance & Field Investigations
Professional Surveillance Services in Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas
Qualified Investigations provides discreet, professional surveillance services for attorneys, businesses, insurance companies, and private individuals throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Whether investigating suspected infidelity, insurance fraud, employee misconduct, or matters involving child custody and family law, our objective is straightforward: document the facts and provide reliable, actionable evidence.
Effective surveillance requires more than sitting in a parked vehicle with a camera. Every investigation presents unique challenges that demand preparation, adaptability, sound judgment, and the right equipment.
Our surveillance capabilities include:
- Covert mobile and stationary surveillance
- Insurance and workers’ compensation investigations
- Domestic and family law investigations
- Employee misconduct and corporate investigations
- Photographic and video evidence collection
- Detailed surveillance reports and documentation
We utilize professional-grade imaging equipment, specialized technology, and proven investigative techniques to document activity while maintaining discretion.
We don’t manufacture evidence or promise a particular outcome. Our responsibility is to establish the facts, whether they confirm or contradict a client’s suspicions.
At Qualified Investigations, we understand that the quality of an investigation depends on more than the equipment being used. Experience, preparation, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances can make the difference between a successful surveillance operation and a wasted day.

Background Investigations & Due Diligence
Comprehensive Background Investigations in Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas
The information you don’t know can sometimes be more important than the information you do.
Qualified Investigations provides comprehensive background investigations for attorneys, businesses, and private individuals seeking reliable information before making important personal, professional, or financial decisions.
A thorough background investigation involves more than entering a name into a database and printing a report. Public records, commercial databases, court filings, and online information can provide valuable leads, but those findings must be evaluated, cross-referenced, and verified.
Our background investigation services may include:
- Criminal and civil court record research
- Employment and professional history verification
- Business ownership and corporate affiliations
- Property ownership and asset research
- Bankruptcy, liens, judgments, and litigation history
- Address histories and identity verification
- Social media and open-source intelligence (OSINT)
- Due diligence for business and financial relationships
Every investigation is tailored to the client’s objectives. Whether you’re evaluating a potential business partner, preparing for litigation, or seeking to verify someone’s background, we focus on identifying relevant facts, resolving inconsistencies, and documenting our findings.
A database report is a starting point, not a completed investigation.
Our goal is to provide accurate, well-organized information that helps clients make informed decisions. When information cannot be independently verified, we make that distinction clear rather than presenting assumptions as established facts.
All investigations are conducted in accordance with applicable laws and permissible-use requirements.

Service of Process
Professional Process Serving in Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas
Successful service of process requires more than delivering legal documents. It demands persistence, attention to detail, knowledge of applicable court rules, and the ability to locate individuals who may not want to be found.
Qualified Investigations provides professional process serving for attorneys, law firms, businesses, and private individuals throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area and surrounding North Texas communities.
Whether serving a straightforward citation or attempting to locate an evasive defendant, we approach each assignment with the same commitment to professionalism, accuracy, and timely communication.
Our process serving services include:
- Service of citations, petitions, subpoenas, and other legal documents
- Routine and expedited service attempts
- Locating difficult-to-find defendants and witnesses
- Skip tracing and address verification
- Residential and commercial service attempts
- Detailed documentation of service attempts
- Preparation and filing of returns of service, as applicable
- Documentation supporting requests for substituted service
When the Address Isn’t Enough
Not everyone makes themselves easy to find. Defendants may relocate, provide outdated addresses, or deliberately avoid service.
As a licensed private investigation firm, Qualified Investigations brings additional investigative resources and experience to challenging service assignments. When traditional attempts are unsuccessful, we can evaluate available information, identify potential alternative locations, and develop a more effective approach to locating the individual.
Our goal is to complete service efficiently while maintaining accurate records of each attempt and complying with applicable legal requirements.
Reliable Documentation. Professional Communication.
We understand that attorneys and their clients depend on accurate service information to keep legal proceedings moving forward.
Qualified Investigations documents service attempts, maintains detailed records, and communicates relevant developments so clients know the status of their assignments.
When service cannot be completed, we provide information about the attempts made and circumstances encountered, which may assist counsel in determining appropriate next steps.
Local Service, Personal Accountability
Unlike services that routinely dispatch assignments to a network of independent contractors, Qualified Investigations personally handles service assignments throughout its primary North Texas service area.
This hands-on approach provides greater continuity, direct communication, and personal accountability throughout the service process.
For assignments outside our regular service area, including Houston, Austin, and other Texas communities, we can coordinate service through qualified local process servers.

Our Commitment to Every Client
Integrity in Every Investigation.
At Qualified Investigations, we understand that clients come to us because they need answers. Whether the matter involves a personal concern, a business dispute, pending litigation, or a difficult-to-locate individual, those answers can have significant consequences.
That’s why every assignment begins with the same commitment: conduct a thorough, objective investigation and report the findings accurately, regardless of the outcome.
We don’t approach investigations with predetermined conclusions, and we don’t tell clients what they want to hear simply to secure their business.
Our responsibility is to uncover and document the facts.
Every investigation is different, but our professional standards remain consistent:
- Integrity: We report what the evidence establishes, not what someone hopes it will establish.
- Discretion: We recognize the sensitive nature of investigative work and handle client information with appropriate confidentiality.
- Communication: We keep clients informed of meaningful developments and explain our findings clearly.
- Professionalism: We approach every assignment with preparation, sound judgment, and respect for applicable laws.
- Accountability: We take responsibility for the quality of our work, from the initial consultation through the final report.
We also recognize that investigative resources are not unlimited. Our objective isn’t to generate unnecessary billable hours, but to pursue reasonable investigative leads that serve the client’s stated goals.
Good investigations don’t always produce the answers a client expects. They produce the answers the evidence supports.
That’s what we mean by Integrity in Every Investigation.
Not Every Case Is the Right Case
Professional investigations begin with honest expectations.
At Qualified Investigations, we believe that accepting an assignment carries a responsibility to evaluate whether the investigation is appropriate, lawful, and reasonably capable of accomplishing the client’s objectives.
That means we don’t accept every case that comes our way.
Sometimes the information a client is seeking is not legally accessible. Other times, the proposed investigation is unlikely to produce meaningful results, the available resources are insufficient, or the circumstances raise legitimate ethical or safety concerns.
We believe clients deserve an honest assessment of those limitations before committing their time and money.
We may decline an investigation when:
- The requested activity would violate applicable laws or professional standards.
- The circumstances suggest the information could be used to harass, intimidate, stalk, or otherwise harm another person.
- The client’s expectations are unrealistic or the desired outcome cannot reasonably be achieved.
- The proposed investigative methods would create unnecessary legal, ethical, or safety risks.
- A conflict of interest could compromise our objectivity or professional responsibilities.
An honest assessment is part of the service.
When we believe an investigation is unlikely to justify its cost, we’ll explain our concerns rather than recommend unnecessary work.
In some circumstances, a different approach, a more narrowly defined investigation, or consultation with an attorney may better serve the client’s interests.
Declining an assignment isn’t always the easiest business decision, but accepting work that we cannot ethically or responsibly perform isn’t an option.
Our reputation depends not only on the investigations we conduct, but also on the judgment we exercise in deciding which cases to accept.
That’s another part of our commitment to Integrity in Every Investigation.
