Residents in Converse who post a No Soliciting or No Trespassing sign are protected from commercial door-to-door canvassing. Solicitors who ignore posted signs face Class C misdemeanor citations.
Converse recognizes the right of residents to opt out of commercial solicitation by posting clear No Soliciting signs at the entrance to their property or on or near the front door. Commercial solicitors with a city permit must visually check for such signs and immediately leave if one is displayed. Ignoring a No Soliciting sign is grounds for citation and potential revocation of the solicitor's permit. Residents may also enhance the protection by posting No Trespassing notices, which under Texas Penal Code 30.05 establish criminal trespass liability for those who enter after notice. Some homeowners associations maintain community-wide no-solicitation lists filed with the city. Religious and political canvassers retain broader First Amendment protections and may not be subject to the same no-knock rules, though they should respect residents who verbally ask them to leave. Aggravated solicitors (returning after being asked to leave) may face enhanced charges.
