Private investigator in Austin, Texas
250+ five-star Google reviews
Austin files mix state-agency work, a fast-growing family-court docket, and civil matters tied to tech and campus life. J.I.S covers Travis County and the nearby suburbs as licensed investigators — not as a referral marketplace.
Travis County civil and family courts, plus the overflow into Williamson and Hays, mean a last-known in South Austin may now live in Kyle or Cedar Park. We handle locates that start with an old UT or downtown address, process serving in buildings that require a real plan, and discreet family-law documentation when both parties still live inside the city.
Insurance-defense surveillance happens here too — claimed injuries after a crash on MoPac or I-35, or a workers’ compensation file tied to a warehouse on the east side. Defense counsel uses us for independent witness and scene work. The assessment is how a new Austin client starts a case with J.I.S.
