Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) Providers
|
Welcome to the home page of the DSHS licensing program for personal
emergency response systems (PERS) providers. PERS (also known as emergency
alarms or fall alarms) are electronic devices which allow the user to
send an instant call for help in case of an emergency to monitoring centers
which can dispatch appropriate assistance. PERS providers and their employees
were formerly licensed along with fire and burglar alarm syatems by the
Texas Commission on Private Security. House Bill 28 (Third Called Session,
2003) transferred all PERS licensing and regulation responsibilities
to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). This transfer
became effective on February 1, 2004. Please explore all links on this
page and refer back to them, as many have been updated.
