Summary

Tyler has no opt-out solicitation registry, but a posted no-soliciting sign carries the force of law. Sec. 4-61(b) makes it unlawful to knock or ring for sales or charity at any residence displaying a sign refusing solicitation.

It is unlawful for any person to go upon any residential premises and ring the doorbell, rap or knock upon the door... if there is placed on such premises in a conspicuous place upon or near the main entrance to the residence... a sign indicating in any manner the occupants' desire not to have their privacy disturbed or otherwise prohibiting solicitation, peddling or trespassing.

The sign may also be posted at the main entrance of a gated community, apartment complex, or other residential facility.
