Summary
Celina residents can post a weatherproof "NO SOLICITORS INVITED" card at their door, and every door-to-door solicitor must check it and leave immediately if it says so.
It shall be the duty of every solicitor upon going onto any premises in the city upon which a residence is located to first examine the notice provided for in subsection (b) of this section, if any is attached, and be governed by the statement contained on the notice. If the notice states "no solicitors invited," then the solicitor, whether registered or not, shall immediately and peacefully depart from the premises.
Full Breakdown
Under Celina's Code of Ordinances § 4.05.002, occupants decide for themselves whether solicitors are welcome by posting a weatherproof "NO SOLICITORS INVITED" card, at least 3 by 4 inches with letters at least 1/3 inch tall, near the front door; the police chief supplies the cards. Any solicitor, licensed or not, must examine the notice before approaching and must leave immediately and peacefully if it says solicitors aren't invited. A solicitor who has already entered must also leave the moment the occupant asks. Ringing a doorbell or otherwise making noise to get an audience in defiance of a posted notice is separately declared a nuisance. Peddlers, itinerant merchants, and solicitors must also hold a city license under Article 4.05 before going door to door.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting a posted residence in defiance of the notice is a declared nuisance; it's punishable under the code's general penalty (§ 1.01.009) by a fine up to $500 per day, plus summary nuisance abatement.
