About Us

With hundreds of members worldwide, TALI is dedicated to raising professionalism in the field of private investigations through continuing education, public awareness, advanced certification, networking, and legislative involvement. Our members are proud to cover the 254 counties and 261,797 square miles that make up the great State of Texas.

While many people often think of an association as a place to get continuing education and training, today’s TALI is much, much more. While our conferences, seminars, and online learning courses are steadily praised as setting the bar, TALI is establishing a new level of professional association.

If you are a member, welcome back, and thank you for your support. If you are considering joining, we are excited about having you join the ranks of professional investigators that make up TALI.

We encourage anyone seeking a qualified and professional investigator to contact a TALI member. Membership in TALI is an added assurance that you are dealing with someone properly licensed and who understands the value of being a part of their state association.
