Door-to-door solicitors, peddlers, and commercial canvassers in Converse must obtain a solicitor permit from the city, submit to a background check, and display identification while soliciting.
Converse requires commercial solicitors, peddlers, and door-to-door salespersons to obtain a permit before canvassing residential neighborhoods. Applicants must submit a completed application with photo identification, proof of employer or sponsor, a criminal background check, and the required permit fee. Permits are issued for a limited duration (typically 30 to 180 days) and must be displayed visibly while soliciting. Permitted hours are generally 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM or dusk, whichever is earlier, Monday through Saturday. Solicitors must immediately leave any property displaying a No Soliciting sign. Religious canvassers, political campaigners, and charitable nonprofits are generally exempt from the commercial permit requirement under First Amendment protections, though they may still be subject to registration for public safety purposes. Violating solicitors can be cited for Class C misdemeanors.
