Mansfield, TX Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Mansfield residents can control unwanted solicitation at their homes by posting a clearly visible No Solicitors, No Soliciting, or No Trespassing sign at or near the front door or at the property entrance. Under Mansfield solicitation rules and Texas Penal Code 30.05 (Criminal Trespass), a posted no-trespass or no-solicitation notice gives constructive notice that entry onto the property for solicitation is not permitted. A commercial solicitor who ignores the posted notice may be cited for violating the solicitation ordinance and may be charged with criminal trespass. Once a resident tells a solicitor of any kind (commercial, religious, political, or charitable) to leave, the solicitor must depart immediately; failure to leave after a direct request also supports criminal trespass charges. Aggressive or fraudulent solicitors, including those refusing to show a city-issued permit, those operating outside permitted hours, or those using high-pressure tactics, can be reported to Mansfield Police at 817-473-4963 (non-emergency) or 911 if the interaction is threatening. Residents can also register landlines with the Texas No Call List and the federal Do Not Call Registry for telephone solicitation protections.
