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

Under Sec. 4-52(a), it is unlawful for anyone conducting commercial or non-commercial solicitation to approach a residential dwelling without an occupant's prior invitation during the hours between 30 minutes after sunset and 8:00 a.m., or at an address listed on the city's no-solicitation registry. That curfew and registry restriction apply on top of the licensing requirement covered elsewhere in the article, and violating either is grounds to deny or revoke a solicitor's license under Sec. 4-54.

Getting on the registry is simple: Sec. 4-56 lets any resident add their address by completing a form the city provides. The city then posts the full no-solicitation registry on its official website, and anyone can request an electronic copy directly, which effectively hands door-to-door license holders a public opt-out list they must check before knocking. The registry protection applies to commercial and non-commercial solicitors alike; nothing in Sec. 4-52 or Sec. 4-56 carves out charities, political canvassers, or salespeople from having to honor a listed address. Because the registry restriction sits inside the general prohibitions of Sec. 4-52 rather than as a separate criminal offense, a solicitor who knocks on a registered door risks the same license denial, revocation, and general Code penalty consequences as one who skips the licensing step altogether.
