Hey guys, Attorney Anthony Bandiero here bringing a roadside chat this time. An officer from Texas wants clarification on knockin talks. And in particular, I guess the question would be, can you do a knock and talk at odd hours at night?

Okay, the answer is yes. If you have a reason to believe that the occupants would be receptive to uninvited guests, so my friend in Texas, you know, you've seen other videos where I talk about how courts have held that you know, knocking at odd hours at night, you know, police open the door, and the officers going back to write that report and saying, Oh, that was a knock and talk.

He doesn't he wants a relationship again. But you know, she, she allows him to be a friend. And he starts doing really weird stuff again, you know, and they get into a fight in, you know, an argument at his at her house, and he takes her cell phone, alright, and leaves. Now, this happens, you know, around three o'clock in the morning or so. And, you know, she calls the police, the phone is missing. They, you know, believe, you know, they that, you know, obviously he took it right. So they go to his house now, they go to his house around for a 5am kind of read from the case. And they observed the lights on in the home and decided to conduct a knock and talk rather than apply for a warrant to
