Our membership in state and national investigator associations keeps us current on Texas law, ethical standards, evidence-handling best practices, and new investigative technology. When you hire a private investigator, these affiliations help show that the firm is accountable, trained, and respected by its peers.
Texas Association of Licensed Investigators (TALI)
TALI is the leading professional association for licensed private investigators in Texas. It promotes ethical standards, continuing education, and legislative advocacy for the profession.
Anji Maddox is a current member of TALI and has served in several leadership roles, including Region 4 Board Director, Chairman of the Unlicensed PI Committee, and Co-Director of the Austin Chapter. Her work on the Unlicensed PI Committee focused on protecting Texas consumers from people who offer investigation services without a state license.
National Association of Investigative Specialists (NAIS)
NAIS is a national organization that provides training, resources, and networking for professional investigators. Our membership gives us access to ongoing education and a nationwide network of investigators. That network helps when a case leads outside Texas.
National Council of Investigation and Security Services (NCISS)
NCISS represents the private investigation and security industry at the national level. It monitors and advocates on federal legislation that affects how investigators can lawfully gather information. Membership keeps She Spies Private Eye informed about privacy laws and compliance requirements that protect both our clients and their cases.
Association of Christian Investigators (ACI)
ACI is an international association of investigators committed to integrity and service. It also supports investigations that help vulnerable people, including human trafficking cases.
Out-of-State Investigator Associations
We are also active members of investigator associations outside Texas: the California Association of Licensed Investigators (CALI), the Florida Association of Licensed Investigators (FALI), and the Inland Northwest Private Investigators Association (INWPIA). These relationships let us coordinate with trusted, licensed investigators in other states for out-of-state surveillance, locates, and service of process.

Why Credentials Matter When Hiring a Private Investigator
In Texas, private investigators must hold a license from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Private Security Program. Professional association membership goes a step further. It shows that an investigator chooses to follow a code of ethics, completes continuing education, and is accountable to peers.
For clients in divorce, child custody, infidelity, insurance fraud, or corporate cases, this matters. Evidence gathered by a properly licensed and trained investigator is more likely to hold up in court.
Before you hire any investigator, ask:
Are you licensed by the Texas DPS? (Ours: #A-11433)
Which professional associations do you belong to?
Can your investigators testify in court?
How do you make sure evidence is collected legally?
