Motion activated sprinkers seems to work the best.
YEARS AGO WHEN I WORKED NIGHT SHIFT I HAD A VERY SIMILAR SIGHN BUT THEREIS ALWAYS THAT ONEMORON THAT CAN'OR WON'T READ THE SIGHN!My neighborhood used to have lots of solicitors. It may still be that way. However, I'm not aware. I've only had a couple of solicitors knock on my door since I put up a sign saying:
____________________________
Day Sleeper
Do not knock or ring doorbell
unless
you have called ahead
or
this is an emergency.
------------------------------
Solicitors know if they wake someone up they aren't going to make a sale so they don't bother. Since my sis is usually sleeping during the day, the sign isn't even a fib.

Just answer the door naked and invite them in. Got rid of Jehovas witnesses that way.

If you use a Ring or other doorbell camera you can set it up to play an automated message. You can also talk to them without opening the door. People typically do less stupid shit when they know they are being recorded. A lot of these "salespeople" are hired through 3rd parties so they tend to care a lot less about how they represent the company they are selling for.
I would paint the sidewalk purpleIf you want a lawyer who knows the law in TX / SA, you need to look one up and pay them.
I’m in Plano, and have paid for the advice you seek up here, but YMMV.
Law enforcement generally doesn’t want to come out for simple trespass.
Purple paint stripes and no trespassing signs are effective for adding additional charges if a felony is committed.
Persons who knock for unusually long times may be casing your home, or it may be a “Cop knock”.
Showing up with a weapon in a ready position may get you arrested.
Ring doorbell is often your best option.
So it’s up to you on how you want to handle it.
Good luck.
