About Bulldog Security Services, LLC

A family-owned security and smart-technology company, headquartered at 14340 Torrey Chase Blvd., Suite 250, Houston, TX 77014, in continuous operation since August 26, 2008.

The company

Bulldog started in Houston in 2008 installing monitored home security. Eighteen years later it protects more than 30,000+ homes and families, holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau as an accredited business, and is the #1 ADT Authorized Dealer in Texas. Growth came the unglamorous way: crews showing up, installations passing inspection, monitoring that works at 3 a.m.

The company also operates a Texas-based contact center and an in-house utility coordination division, Utilities+, both described on the capabilities page. Contract work through BDS Government Services is backed by the 200+ employee Bulldog Security Services organization and its eight offices across Texas and Florida.
