Flower Mound maintains a no-solicitation registry under Chapter 62 of the Code of Ordinances that allows residents to opt out of receiving door-to-door solicitors. Residents may register their address with the Police Department by phone or through the town's online portal. Once registered, the address is placed on a list provided to all permitted solicitors, who must review it before beginning their canvassing routes and skip all listed addresses. In addition to the registry, residents may post a no-solicitation sign or sticker at their entrance, and any solicitor who approaches a home displaying such signage commits a separate violation of Chapter 62. The only exemptions from the no-solicitation rules are for religious organizations, political campaigns, and registered nonprofit charitable groups, which are protected under the First Amendment but must still leave immediately when a resident asks them to depart. The no-solicitation registry is heavily utilized in Flower Mound's HOA communities including Bridlewood, Wellington, and Lakeside.
Chapter 62 of the Flower Mound Code of Ordinances establishes a formal no-solicitation registry administered by the Police Department as a companion to the solicitor permit requirements. The registry provides residents with a proactive mechanism to prevent permitted solicitors from approaching their property. Residents may register their address on the town's no-solicitation list by contacting the Police Department's non-emergency line, visiting the department in person, or submitting an online registration form through the town website. Registration is free and no documentation beyond address verification is required. Once registered, the address is included on a current no-solicitation list that is provided to all solicitors upon permit issuance. Solicitors are required to review the no-solicitation list before beginning their canvassing routes each day and must skip all listed addresses. Failing to check the list or knowingly approaching a registered address constitutes a violation of Chapter 62 subject to citation and potential permit revocation. The no-solicitation list is updated regularly as new registrations are received, and solicitors are responsible for obtaining the most current version from the Police Department before canvassing. In addition to the centralized registry, residents may display a no-solicitation sign, sticker, decal, or placard at their front entrance, doorbell, or mailbox area. Any commercial solicitor who approaches a home displaying a visible no-solicitation indicator commits a separate and independent violation of Chapter 62, regardless of whether that address also appears on the registry. This dual protection system means residents can choose either the registry, posted signage, or both for maximum protection. The only organizations exempt from the no-solicitation restrictions are religious organizations conducting door-to-door outreach and ministry, political campaigns canvassing for candidates or ballot measures, and registered nonprofit charitable organizations soliciting donations or volunteers. These groups are protected under First Amendment free speech and free exercise principles that limit municipal authority to restrict non-commercial canvassing. However, even exempt organizations must comply with one critical requirement: if a resident explicitly asks a religious, political, or charitable canvasser to leave the property, the canvasser must depart immediately. Failure to leave after being asked constitutes criminal trespass under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05, which applies equally to exempt and non-exempt solicitors. This is a Class B misdemeanor carrying fines up to $2,000 and potential jail time of up to 180 days. The no-solicitation registry is particularly popular and widely utilized in Flower Mound's extensive HOA-governed communities, including Bridlewood, Wellington, Lakeside, and numerous other master-planned subdivisions. Many HOAs also post no-solicitation signage at community entrance gates and monuments, although the legal enforceability of these community-level signs relies on the underlying Chapter 62 town ordinance rather than on the HOA's private authority. Residents frequently report violations through the Police Department's non-emergency line, and enforcement is active. Registration on the no-solicitation list remains in effect indefinitely until the resident contacts the Police Department to request removal.
Soliciting at a registered no-solicitation address or a home displaying a no-solicitation sign or sticker is a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500 per offense. Repeat violations result in permit revocation, and the solicitor may be barred from obtaining future permits. Refusing to leave a property after the resident asks constitutes criminal trespass under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05, a Class B misdemeanor with fines up to $2,000 and up to 180 days in jail.
