What this is
Facts, gathered lawfully, written down.
Most people who call have been carrying a question for months. A schedule that stopped making sense. A claim that does not match what somebody can obviously do. A person who owes money and cannot be found. A business partner whose story keeps moving.
An investigation turns that question into a record. Dates, places, durations, photographs, documents - gathered in ways that stand up, and written so somebody who was not there can follow it. That is the entire product, and everything on this site is a different route to it.
What we do
Seven areas of work, thirty-three services.
Every one of them ends the same way: a written record you can act on.
Marriage & Divorce
Evidence that holds up when a marriage, a custody order or a support order is on the line.

How it is done now
The good ones do not look like investigators.
Stand in a hotel lobby with a camera and a long lens and you have announced yourself to every person in the room. Stand there apparently answering messages and you are nobody. That is not a trick, it is the job - and it is why the work gets done without the subject ever knowing anybody was there.
Why this agency
What you are actually hiring.
One investigator, start to finish
Curtis Pritchard takes the call, scopes the case and runs the work. Nothing is handed off to a stranger and nothing is sold on to another agency.
Licensed, insured and bonded
Texas license #12818. Insurance and license documentation available on request, which matters more than most clients realize.
Lawful, or not at all
No accounts, no phones, no listening devices in private spaces, no trackers on cars you do not own. Evidence collected the wrong way destroys the case it was collected for.
Invisible by design
Modern surveillance looks like somebody checking their phone. If the subject notices anything, the job was done badly.
How it works
Four steps, and you can stop after the first.
-
The call
Free, confidential, and no obligation. You describe the situation. We tell you whether an investigation would actually help, including when it would not.
-
The plan
What will be done, what it will cost, and what a realistic result looks like. In writing, before anything starts.
-
The work
The investigation runs, and you hear from us during it rather than only at the end.
-
The file
A written report with the evidence behind it, delivered to you and to nobody else.
Where we work
Four metros, and the rest of Texas.
Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio are where most cases start. Coverage runs to the whole state, and records and asset work is run nationally.
