Laredo respects posted No Solicitors or No Trespassing signs. A clearly posted sign is legal notice under TX Penal Code 30.05 and solicitors who continue to knock commit criminal trespass. Registered solicitors must honor the list if one exists.
While Laredo does not maintain a formal municipal Do-Not-Knock registry like some larger cities, property owners enjoy full protection under Texas criminal trespass law. A conspicuously posted No Solicitors, No Trespassing, or similar sign provides effective notice under TX Penal Code 30.05, and any commercial solicitor who proceeds to the door commits Class B misdemeanor criminal trespass. Verbal notice to leave is equally effective; once a resident asks a solicitor to leave, remaining constitutes trespass. Solicitor permits issued by the city expressly condition permission on respect for No Solicitors signs, and violations can lead to permit revocation in addition to criminal charges. Residents who experience aggressive or repeated solicitation should note the solicitor badge number, vehicle, and description and contact Laredo Police (non-emergency 956-795-2800).
Criminal trespass after posted notice: Class B misdemeanor, up to 180 days jail and $2,000 fine under TX Penal Code 30.05. Permit revocation for commercial violators.
