Missing Persons & Skip Tracing
34 years of investigative experience. Law enforcement-grade databases. We find people.
Locating missing persons and conducting skip traces requires access to databases and investigative resources that are simply unavailable to the general public. Watson PI uses law enforcement-grade databases, investigative techniques developed over 34 years, and a professional network built during 19 years with the LAPD to locate individuals throughout Texas and nationwide. Whether you are searching for a missing family member, a debtor who has absconded, a witness needed for litigation, or a biological relative, Watson PI delivers results.
What We Provide

For skip traces, our access to professional databases and investigative methodology consistently locates individuals that consumer skip trace services cannot find.
Our Process
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a skip trace typically take?
Most skip traces are completed within 24–72 hours. Complex cases involving individuals who are actively avoiding location may take longer.
Can you locate someone who has moved out of Texas?
Yes. We conduct nationwide skip traces through our professional investigative network and have successfully located individuals throughout the United States.
What information do I need to provide to start a skip trace?
The more information you can provide, the more efficient the investigation. At minimum, we need the subject's full name and last known location. Additional information, date of birth, Social Security number, last known employer, vehicle information, significantly accelerates the process.
