Summary

A posted "No Solicitors" sign makes it illegal for peddlers, solicitors, and canvassers to approach that address in New Braunfels.

It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in soliciting activities upon premises where a posted notice exists prohibiting such soliciting activities, with wording such as "No solicitors" or wording with similar intent. ... Be permitted to solicit funds, demonstrate, goods, wares, merchandise, magazines or other items during the hours of darkness within the city limits.

Full Breakdown

New Braunfels doesn't run a city no-knock registry. Instead, a resident posts their own sign, wording like "No solicitors" or similar, at or near the property's entrance, and that notice is legally binding: it's unlawful for any solicitor, peddler, or mobile food unit to engage in soliciting activities on that property once posted. Separately, all peddlers, solicitors, and advertising or magazine vendors are barred from working outside true daylight hours, defined as 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset; night solicitation citywide is flatly prohibited. Political and religious canvassers who aren't selling anything or seeking donations are exempt from the chapter entirely, so a posted sign doesn't stop them.

Violations & Fines

Class C misdemeanor, fine up to $500 per day; the code expressly makes it a strict-liability offense with no culpable-mental-state defense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does New Braunfels keep an official do-not-knock list?
No. The city relies on residents posting their own "No solicitors" sign at the entrance; there's no separate government registry to sign up for.
Can solicitors knock after dark if there's no sign posted?
No: city code bars peddlers, solicitors, and vendors from operating during hours of darkness regardless of signage, limiting them to true daylight hours.
Does a posted sign stop political canvassers too?
No. Canvassers seeking support for a cause or candidate, without selling anything, are exempt from this chapter under Sec. 90-5(c).
