Starting a security company, initially, is just like starting any other business. First, do your homework. First, clearly define the specific products and services that you'd like to bring to market. Security is a HUGE industry- do you intend to provide guard services, investigations, alarm systems, access controls systems, executive protection?
Once you've defined your products/ services, make an honest assessment about how your service fits into your intended market. What are the advantages/ disadvantages/ strengths/ weaknesses of your specific products/ services? Who is your competition? How will you get your products/ services in front of prospective clients? What is the market potential for your products/ services in your market area?
Look at Texas licensing and registration requirements for your intended products and services. This is all regulated by the Texas Department of Public Safety- Private Security Bureau. You can find this information at http:/www.txdps.state.tx.us/psb There are various experience requirements and other factors required to open a private security company in Texas.
Next, start creating a business plan and budget. Going through this process will naturally help you to think though much of what you need to know to start a business. Remember, nobody gets their plan right on the first draft. It's an evolution. Be patient, honest, and use the process as a guide to discovery and testing your ideas.
Getting assistance from an CPA and/ or attorney is also a good idea. They can help you with selecting what type of business entity is best for you, planning your budget and related financial details and offer assistance with contracts and other legal documents.
There are also a variety of other resources and organizations to help you in starting a business, such as SCORE. Many of these resources provide advice and assistance at little or no cost.

Is there a security shut off switch of some sort on the 2003 Tahoe your Tahoe will not start all lights will come on but wont start?
The car won't start because of the security system. The security system will either have to be bypassed (there are kits available on Ebay sometimes and there are some websites that have them too) or replaced. The ignition key has a built in resistor that the security system checks when you try to start the car. If the security system doesn't recognize the resistance of the key it won't start the car. Then you have to wait 2 to 10 minutes before it will start ( sometimes it's a lot longer than 10 minutes). You could try getting a replacement key and see if the security system recognizes it better. GM installed security systems in their vehicles that are called Passkey I, II and III. So if you get a kit you have to know which system is in your vehicle.
