Private investigator in Tyler, Texas
250+ five-star Google reviews
Tyler is the East Texas hub. Medical employment, a regional court docket, and towns that sit a long drive from Dallas shape the files. J.I.S covers Smith County and the nearby piney-woods cities under our statewide license.
We take locates when a last-known in Tyler is now a Longview or Jacksonville rumor, process serving, family-law documentation for Smith County, and insurance-defense surveillance when a claimant’s week does not match the claim.
Civil and defense counsel send witness work that has to be done quietly in a smaller city. You are hiring J.I.S’s licensed investigators, not browsing East Texas names. The assessment is how the case starts.
Work we take in Tyler
Surveillance
Insurance defense and workers’ compensation activity checks, family-law surveillance, and discreet photo and video documentation that can be used in court.
Background checks
Identity, criminal and civil history, and hidden-risk reviews for counsel, employers, and private clients.
Locates / skip tracing
Skip-tracing witnesses, relatives, subjects, and vehicles last tied to Texas.
Process serving
Lawful service of Texas papers, including evasive subjects and hard-to-find addresses.
Child custody
Documented observation for possession, visitation, and household conditions — written for counsel, not as a parenting recommendation.
Infidelity
Discreet fact-finding around a relationship or household when you need a record, not a rumor.
Insurance / workers’ compensation
Claimant activity checks, inconsistency reviews, and fieldwork for carriers and defense counsel.
Attorney litigation support
Witness location, records, scene work, and independent investigation directed by civil or defense counsel.
