Lewisville enforces no-soliciting sign protections under Code of Ordinances Chapter 22, making it a violation for commercial solicitors to enter a property displaying a clearly visible no-soliciting or no-trespassing sign. Solicitors who ignore posted signs or refuse to leave after being asked to depart also commit criminal trespass under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05. The city does not maintain a municipal do-not-knock registry, so residents who wish to avoid solicitation should post a visible no-soliciting sign at their front door. HOA communities including Castle Hills and Valley Vista may maintain community-wide no-soliciting policies and post signs at neighborhood entrances, with enforcement handled by community management.
Under Lewisville Code of Ordinances Chapter 22, commercial solicitors must respect no-soliciting signs posted on residential properties. Entering a property displaying a clearly visible no-soliciting or no-trespassing sign and attempting to solicit constitutes a violation of the solicitation ordinance. Additionally, Texas Penal Code Section 30.05 makes it a criminal offense to enter property when notice against entry is posted by signage or communicated verbally. A solicitor who is asked to leave a property and does not immediately depart may be charged with criminal trespass. Lewisville does not operate a municipal do-not-knock registry. Residents who wish to avoid solicitation should post a visible no-soliciting sign at their front door or at the entrance to their property. The sign should be placed where it is clearly visible to anyone approaching the door. HOA communities including Castle Hills and Valley Vista may have community-wide no-soliciting policies and may post signs at neighborhood entrances, though enforcement of HOA-level policies is handled by community management rather than city code enforcement. Religious and political canvassers are constitutionally protected and may not be fully restricted by no-soliciting signs, though they must leave immediately when asked. Contact Lewisville Police non-emergency at (972) 219-3600 to report aggressive or persistent solicitors.
Soliciting at a property with a posted no-soliciting sign is a violation of Chapter 22 with fines up to $500. Refusing to leave after being asked to depart is criminal trespass under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05, a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500. Aggressive or intimidating solicitation may result in additional charges including harassment.
