Our web servers are authenticated by VeriSign so you can trust you are doing business with Texas Security Equipment, Inc. We protect the security of credit card and other sensitive information you provide online by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security software that encrypts such information. The security features are automatic. For example, once you've clicked the CHECKOUT button on the Shopping Cart page, your browser looks for a digital certificate to confirm that it is communicating with our website. Once a positive ID is made, your order continues. We use VeriSign software to enable the use of digital certificates. For your security, the verification process happens in the background every time you place an order on our site. For more information on the Texas Security Equipment privacy policy click here.

The sales tax applied to your purchase is determined according to state and local laws and regulations. The specific tax rate is based upon the shipped from and shipped to information in your specific order. We are required by law to collect tax in all 50 states where sales tax is collected and TSE does business. We turn over all monies collected to the appropriate government agencies and we are audited by these agencies on a regular basis. TSE does not profit from the collection of sales tax.

For tax-exempt customers, state laws require us to have your signed tax exemption or resale certificate on file at our offices. We are required to charge you sales tax if we do not have this documentation. If your agency's online purchases are being taxed and you've already qualified for tax-exempt status and have your letter or certificate on file with us, please contact us so we can get this corrected.
