Houston Private Investigator | Domestic Investigations

Charles Ford Investigations providing quality domestic and divorce related investigation and surveillance services since 1979.

Most private investigators specialize in domestic related investigations which normally includes some type of surveillance, either on a spouse suspected of infidelity, or perhaps on a parent during a child custody weekend. In Houston, private investigators face many challenges due to the vast size of the city. An experienced investigator will know the streets of Houston by having worked in the city for a number of years. That investigator will know traffic patterns in certain areas, and wil be able to tell you if surveillance will be easy or difficult.

The Reality of Surveillance
Many people have an incorrect perception of how difficult it is to conduct a successful surveillance. I attribute this to television shows that portray the investigator right on the tail of the subject for miles at a time. This is not the case in the real world. The investigator must be able to maintain a visual of the subject while staying 2 to 3 car lengths behind the subject. The investigator must "play the lights" to ensure he or she does not get caught at a red light after the subject has made it through. We understand the intricasies of surveillance work because we have years of experience working in this city for clients of some of the top divorce firms in Houston.

Depending upon the nature of the particular investigation you are needing, 2 private investigators may be required to successfully follow a subject from point A to point B. When this is the case, we will be up front with you about the costs for using two people. Charles Ford Investigations has years and years of experience in conducting surveillance in this city.
