Package theft in Rowlett — which neighborhoods are getting hit hardest
Package theft in Rowlett is getting worse and it follows a predictable pattern. Based on reports in the Rowlett Community Facebook group, the Nextdoor app, and Rowlett PD's community briefing, here is what we know.
- Most thefts occur between 11 AM and 3 PM on weekdays
- Thieves follow delivery trucks. They watch the Amazon/UPS/FedEx truck make deliveries and then circle back 10-15 minutes later.
- Packages left on front porches for more than 2 hours are the primary targets

5Rowlett PD crime stats for 2026 — how safe is our city really?
I pulled the public crime data from Rowlett PD's annual community briefing and cross-referenced it with the Texas DPS Crime in Texas report. Here is where Rowlett stands.
- Population: ~68,000
- Total Part 1 crimes: 1,847
- Violent crimes: 142 (homicide: 1, aggravated assault: 58, robbery: 24, sexual assault: 59)

5Can you record a vendor call in Texas? Yes — and here's how to do it right
Texas is a one-party consent state for recording conversations. That means if you are a participant in the conversation, you can record it legally without notifying the other party.
- Proof of verbal agreements that weren''t put in writing.
- Proof of vendor representations ("we always deliver in 30 days," "we''ve done 200 weddings").
- Proof of refund refusals or threats.
