Guadalupe County runs no no-knock registry, but a posted "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" sign carries legal force: entering after notice that entry is forbidden is criminal trespass under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05.
The county keeps no do-not-knock list for unincorporated areas; enforcement runs through criminal trespass law. Penal Code Section 30.05 makes it an offense to enter or remain on property after notice that entry is forbidden, and defines notice to include a posted sign reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders indicating entry is forbidden. A clearly posted "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" sign therefore turns an unwanted solicitor's approach into a trespass a Guadalupe County sheriff's deputy can act on. Cities in the county may also keep their own no-knock ordinances.
A solicitor who enters posted property or refuses to leave after being told commits criminal trespass, a Class B or Class C misdemeanor, subject to arrest and fine by the sheriff's office.
