Montgomery County does not permit solicitors in unincorporated areas. Conroe Code Ch. 70 requires peddler/solicitor permit with background check. The Woodlands Township issues solicitor permits under township rules. First Amendment exemptions apply statewide.
Texas counties lack general permit authority over door-to-door solicitation in unincorporated Montgomery County — no county permit required for commercial canvassers near Splendora, New Caney, Willis, or Magnolia. State criminal trespass law (TX Penal Code §30.05) and private property rights govern. Conroe Code of Ordinances Ch. 70 (or similar peddlers chapter) requires commercial solicitors to obtain a peddler/solicitor permit with criminal background check, display ID badge, and observe posted no-solicitation signs — hours typically restricted to 9 AM to sunset or 9 PM. The Woodlands Township regulates solicitors under township code — permit required, background check, ID display, restricted hours. First Amendment exemptions apply: religious canvassers, political workers (Watchtower Bible v. Stratton, 2002), and nonprofit charitable solicitation generally cannot be required to obtain permits, though ID requirements and hours may still apply.
Unincorporated: TX Penal Code §30.05 criminal trespass after warning — Class B misdemeanor. Conroe permit violation: $100-$500 citation. Woodlands: township code $100-$500. Harassment: additional charges possible.
