Missouri City could begin enforcing tighter solicitation rules as officials said enforcement challenges, public safety concerns and administrative inefficiencies have triggered a need for a new approach.

Zooming in: At a Feb. 2 meeting, Missouri City City Council voted 6-0 to approve the first reading of an ordinance regulating solicitation-related activities. 

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.

Looking ahead: While no date has been announced for the ordinance’s second reading, City Council will meet again Feb. 16.

The Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce has rebranded to the Fort Bend Regional Partnership as the organization begins a new chapter across the Greater Fort Bend region.

“The Fort Bend Regional Partnership better reflects the scale of our work and the forward-looking role we play in shaping work in critical areas like policy, infrastructure, workforce and economic opportunity,” Schmidt said.

The details: The rebrand aligns with the work the chamber is already doing with several key county growth areas, including:

• Business growth and innovation
