Full Breakdown
Cedar Hill enforces a posted-notice rule: any property displaying a 'No Solicitors,' 'No Trespassing,' or 'No Knock' sign is off-limits to commercial solicitors and peddlers. Signs must be visibly posted at the front entrance, driveway, or gate. Texas Penal Code criminal trespass provisions also apply when solicitors knowingly enter posted property. Residents who experience persistent or aggressive solicitation can call Cedar Hill Police non-emergency at 972-291-5181 to request a permit check. Cedar Hill does not currently maintain a centralized municipal no-knock registry, residents must self-post. Solicitation outside permitted hours (typically before 9 a.m. or after dusk) is also prohibited regardless of signage.
