Summary
Texarkana requires door-to-door sellers to register with the city, limits calls to 10 a.m.-7 p.m., and bans knocking where a posted "No Solicitation" sign is displayed.
It is an offense under this article for any person while engaged in door-to-door selling to go to a private residence in the city for such purpose before 10:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. or anytime on a federally designated holiday, without a prior invitation from the occupants of said private residence.

Full Breakdown
Anyone going door-to-door in Texarkana to sell merchandise or services must first register with the city and carry that registration on their person. Registered sellers may only approach a private residence between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., never on a federally designated holiday, and may not knock, ring the doorbell, or otherwise seek attention at any home posting a "No Solicitation" or "No Soliciting" sign with letters at least two inches tall. Sellers must also leave immediately if the occupant asks them to. The rules apply only to commercial door-to-door selling; religious, political, civic, and nonprofit-donation callers, school-sponsored fundraisers, and youth nonprofit sales are exempt.
Violations & Fines
Selling door-to-door without registering, without carrying the registration, outside the 10 a.m.-7 p.m. window, on a federal holiday, ignoring a posted no-solicitation sign, or refusing to leave when told is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500 under the city's general penalty provision.
