I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Yes, if they have a concealed carry license they can carry a gun - - but security companies do not allow their employees to carry while on the job, unless they are a certified peace officer.

A google search turns up all kinds of Texas security agencies that offer both armed and unarmed security officers. Armored car drivers are not off-duty policemen, for example.
