Austin Private Investigator

Licensed, discreet investigations across Central Texas and Nationwide

Need to find someone, check a background before a major decision, see what someone is actually doing, or find out what records and online sources show? We use law-enforcement-grade databases, open-source research and field surveillance, then verify by hand: cross-checking sources, resolving conflicting records, and telling you what the findings mean. Automated lookup sites just hand you a data dump.

Every case is handled by a licensed private investigator from the first call to the final report, and stays confidential no matter how sensitive. Surveillance and in-person work cover Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park and the rest of Central Texas. Background checks, skip tracing and records research are available nationwide, for individuals, law firms, small businesses, fire departments, auto lenders and towing companies.

Waiting for answers is usually the hardest part. We will take the time to understand what you actually need before we start, and we will tell you straight if we are not the right fit.

What happens when you call

The same three steps every time, whatever the case.

Step one

The conversation

Tell us what you need to know. We will tell you honestly what an investigation can and cannot accomplish in your situation, and give you our read on how likely a result is before you commit anything.

Step two

The agreement

If you decide to go ahead, you receive a written agreement setting out the scope and the cost, signed by both of us. No work begins before that, and nothing is added later without your approval.

Step three

The report

A written investigative report prepared by a licensed investigator, delivered as a PDF. Afterwards you can reach a real person to talk it through, by phone, email or text.

I contacted Just the Facts on Monday or Tuesday about finding someone and by Saturday afternoon he had found her in another state on the east coast. I couldn't believe how fast, accurate and comprehensive his report came back to me. THIS WAS EVEN IN THE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS! Thank You!

I was really happy with the services of Just the Facts Investigations. I needed to do a background check on a person who would be staying with my elderly relative. I felt unsure about using the usual online sites, and wanted to be able to talk to a real person, review pertinent details, and ask questions. I thought the pricing was fair for the degree of service. JTFI got back to me quickly with a report. It was professionally done and the communication was quick and easy. JTFI took time to go through it with me, and I felt I had enough information to make a better decision.
