Yes, in the State of Texas, you are required to hold a private investigators license. Licensing is handled through the State of Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau. You can get an individual license (if you are hired by a licensed PI company) or if you want to start your own company then you must register for a company license.
You need to get a degree in something like criminal justice. Then you have to take some more courses after that to get licensed as a private investigator. It requires a lot of work, but it is worth it, as the best investigators get paid very well.

In general, no. The laws are different in different places- in some, a licensed security guard can make arrests for certain crimes while on duty. But the private firm cannot license it's personnel as peace officers. They CAN be sworn officers, but they will be sworn by a government official, such as a judge.
