Counselors:

Has any other City received a letter from a Dallas law firm (Lynn Pinker Hurst Schwegmann) asserting that your municipality's ordinances governing solicitation and peddler's licensing are unconstitutional and threatening a 42 U.S.C. §1983 lawsuit and hefty attorney fees if the alleged unconstitutional provisions are not remedied within three business days?  Or has your city received similar challenges to its peddler and solicitor ordinances?  If so, please let me know.
