Posted No Soliciting signs are legally enforceable in Austin under §10-3-32. Violations constitute criminal trespass under Texas Penal Code §30.05. Residents can report violations to 3-1-1 or APD non-emergency at 512-974-5750.
A posted No Soliciting, No Trespassing, or Private Property sign at the front door or driveway entrance puts commercial solicitors on notice. Ignoring the sign converts the visit into criminal trespass under TX Penal Code §30.05 (Class B misdemeanor, up to 180 days jail and $2,000 fine, upgraded if weapon involved). Federal law (16 CFR §310.4) adds National Do Not Call Registry protections for phone solicitation; the Texas No Call List (§302 Business & Commerce Code) offers state-level protection. Religious and political canvassers retain First Amendment rights even at posted addresses, but must leave if asked.
