Double Oak Solicitor Permits (6/13/2023)

Double Oak Citizens,

The town is fully aware that you are getting inundated by solicitors wanting to repair your homes from the hailstorm. The Double Oak Police Department has warned solicitors to leave our town without proper permits.

Double Oak has a Solicitor Permit process, and we are sharing this as a courtesy for you to know.

Only engage with them if a solicitor can show you a permit and their proper ID.

If you have additional questions, please get in touch with our Double Oak Town Administration.

Thank you.

Patrick Johnson
Mayor of Double Oak
