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.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 36).
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.
