Introduction

Texas is experiencing explosive growth in tech, oil and gas, finance, logistics, law, and healthcare — and with growth comes risk. More companies across Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth are now being targeted by illegal surveillance and insider threats.

Hidden cameras, listening devices, WiFi-based covert transmitters, and GPS trackers are being discovered at an alarming rate.
If you run a business in Texas, a professional TSCM sweep is no longer optional — it’s protection.

Why Texas Has Become a Hotspot for Espionage

Texas’ Rapid Economic Expansion

Texas now ranks among the top states for corporate relocations and startup growth.
This makes businesses vulnerable to:

  • Competitors planting bugs

  • Employees recording private meetings

  • Espionage groups targeting financial and legal firms

  • Outsiders stealing intellectual property

Industries most affected include:

  • Tech & software companies (Austin tech corridor)

  • Oil & gas

  • Law firms

  • Healthcare providers

  • Real estate agencies

  • Manufacturing & engineering

  • Logistics and trucking firms

  • Financial & investment groups

Where high-value data exists, surveillance follows.

Cheap Spy Devices Everywhere

Anyone can order a hidden camera, microphone, or WiFi transmitter online for under $40.

Common devices found in Texas offices:

  • Charger-camera bugs

  • Wireless microphones

  • USB-drive recorders

  • Wall-outlet transmitters

  • Motion-activated cameras

  • Covert WiFi devices

  • Bluetooth audio recorders

These can run quietly for months, recording every confidential conversation.

Insider Threats Are Increasing

In many cases, the person planting the device is someone inside the company.

Examples include:

  • Removing ceiling tiles to hide recorders

  • Plugging devices behind desks

  • Adding unauthorized WiFi access points

  • Planting GPS trackers on company vehicles

  • Using disguised USB chargers to record meetings
