Harris County does not require solicitor permits for door-to-door sales in unincorporated areas. Texas Business and Commerce Code provides consumer protections for door-to-door sales, including a 3-day cancellation right for purchases over $25. Solicitors must leave private property when asked under Texas Penal Code trespass provisions. Many subdivisions have deed restrictions and HOA rules regulating or prohibiting door-to-door solicitation. No-soliciting signs are enforceable under trespass law.
