Re: Mall security and right to physically detain you
A security guard in Texas has the same powers as a civilian. In order for them to place you under a citizens arrest, a felony would have to be committed in their presence. They do not investigate and therefore do not detain, or at least shouldn't. Now if it's store loss control then they may have some different authority under the shop keeper's privilege but I've never spent any time in that arena so I'm not qualified to say.
