Euless residents can post a No Soliciting sign to legally prohibit uninvited commercial solicitors. Ignoring a posted sign is a code violation and can escalate to criminal trespass under TX Penal Code 30.05.
Euless follows the common Texas framework in which a posted No Soliciting sign at the entrance to a residential property gives legally enforceable notice that the property owner does not want uninvited commercial solicitors. When a sign is clearly posted at the primary entrance walkway, front door, or gate, a commercial solicitor who approaches the home anyway is violating city solicitation ordinance requirements and may also be committing a trespass-by-notice offense under Texas Penal Code 30.05, which defines criminal trespass as entering or remaining on property after notice that entry was forbidden. Signs do not need to use specific legal language; a clear No Soliciting, No Solicitors, or Private Property No Trespassing message is typically sufficient. Solicitors who hold valid city permits are still bound by No Soliciting signs; the permit does not override individual homeowner preferences. Religious canvassers and political campaigners engaged in speech activity are protected under the First Amendment and the Supreme Court's Watchtower Bible decision, and a No Soliciting sign aimed at commercial solicitation may not always apply to them, though a posted No Trespassing sign is generally enforceable against all uninvited persons. Residents can also join the FTC National Do Not Call Registry and Direct Marketing Association mail preference service to reduce phone and mail solicitations. Violations can be reported to Euless Police non-emergency at 817-685-1526, and chronic violators can be cited under the solicitation ordinance or charged with Class B misdemeanor criminal trespass if they return after being warned.
