Each Texas
Notary Public is required to have and to use a Texas Notary
Public Seal. The seal must be kept in a locked and
secured area, under the direct and exclusive control of the notary public and
must not be surrendered to an employer upon termination of employment, whether
or not the employer paid for the seal, or to any other person. Because of the
legal requirement that the seal be photographically reproducible, the rubber stamp
seal is almost universal; however, notaries public may use an embosser seal in
addition to the rubber stamp. The legal requirements for a seal are shown
below.

Notary Public
What is a Texas Notary Public?
A Notary Public is a public servant with statewide jurisdiction who is
authorized to take acknowledgments, protest instruments permitted by law to be
protested (primarily negotiable instruments and bills and notes), administer
oaths, take depositions, and certify copies of documents not recordable in the
public records.
A Notary Public is, in the true sense of the word, "a public
servant" and "an officer of the State of Texas", conveniently
located in the community so that the notary may be of service to the public.
Each Notary Public takes an official oath of office to faithfully perform the
duties of the office, and to insure such performance, a notary public is
required to post a $10,000.00 bond with the Secretary of State.
What is the purpose of a Texas Notary Public?
Responsibilities?
The primary duty of a Texas Notary Public is to show that a disinterested
party (the Notary Public) has duly notified the signer of an instrument as to
the importance of such document, and the signer of such document has declared
that the signerís identity, signature, and reasons for signing such instrument
are genuine. The signature and seal of a Notary Public do not prove these facts
conclusively, but provide prima facie proof of them, and allow persons in trade
and commerce to rely upon the truth and veracity of the Notary Public as a
third party who has no personal interest in the transaction.
Texas Notary Public Liability
A Notary Public is personally liable for negligence or fraud in the
performance of the duties of the office. The bond is to insure that the person
injured can recover at least $10,000.00, but this does not protect the Notary
Public from personal liability for the full extent of damages caused by a
breach of official duty. In addition to civil liability, Notaries Public may be
subject to criminal prosecution and the revocation or suspension of their
notary public commission by the Secretary of State's office.
