At a Feb. 2 meeting, Missouri City City Council voted 6-0 to approve the first reading of an ordinance regulating solicitation-related activities. District D council member Floyd Emery was absent.
The ordinance—which would apply to any person going door-to-door for commercial purposes—could tighten solicitation rules, including prohibiting solicitation between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m., according to agenda documents.
