Plano secondhand goods dealers, including resale shops and metal recyclers, must register with the city, photograph and record every transaction, hold goods for required waiting periods, and submit daily reports through the LeadsOnline system.
Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1956 governs metal recyclers, while Chapter 8 of Plano City Code requires general secondhand and resale dealers to register, photograph sellers and goods, and report transactions daily. Plano Police use the LeadsOnline platform to match reported items against stolen-property reports. Dealers must hold each item at least ten days before resale to allow recovery. Metal recyclers must verify seller identity, prohibit cash payments above state thresholds, and maintain detailed logs. The framework targets bicycle, electronics, jewelry, and catalytic converter theft common in DFW retail corridors.
Failing to report sales, paying cash above state limits for metals, ignoring hold periods, or accepting goods from unidentified sellers triggers fines, license revocation, and accomplice charges if items are stolen.
