Peddler and Solicitor Warning
Individuals who go door to door trying to sell goods or services should always be viewed with a suspicious eye. All peddlers and solicitors are required to obtain a permit from the police department. Additionally, they are restricted to operating only between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, and they are not allowed to solicit on Sundays and State or National Holidays.
Most of the individuals who solicit/peddle do not obtain permits for their activities so they should always be reported to the police department so we can identify them and investigate their activities. The number to call is 512-314-7590 which rings at the dispatch center in Lakeway. They will send an officer to investigate. Please use that same number to report anything suspicious persons or activity, but if you have an emergency, you should call 911.
Most importantly, DO NOT let these people into your home, even if they have a permit. Even though we conduct a criminal check prior to issuing a permit, there is no guarantee that their true intent is not to check out your home for valuables or to do other harm.
Please join with us in making our neighborhoods safer by promptly reporting solicitors or any other suspicious activity.

Texas DPS Amber Alert
AMBER, Blue, Silver & Endangered Missing Persons Alert Programs
Click here to view all active Texas Amber Alerts.
The AMBER, Blue, Silver & Endangered Missing Persons Alert Programs are housed within the Operations Section of the Texas Division of Emergency Management. The State Operations Center (SOC) serves as the state primary control point, collecting and disseminating alert information to local, state, federal, public and private technology partners, known as the State Network. The goal of the State Network is to mobilize Texas citizens to search for abducted children, missing senior citizens, endangered missing persons and suspects involved with the death or serious injury of law enforcement officers. Each alert program has a specific set of criteria in order to protect the integrity of the network. Only law enforcement can request activation of the State Network.
The Operations Section also houses a statewide coordination and training component, supporting program awareness, regional program development, collaboration at the local, state and federal levels, plus internal review processes within the State Network.
