TX Notary Public Mobile Fee Information
Though not specifically mentioning notaries as state officers in the statute, Texas law requires 'state officers' to bill clients for all expenses. Therefore it is recommended that you always prepare a detailed bill for any services you perform as a notary public. Discuss your fees with your signers before performing the notarial act to avoid confusion or conflict afterward. Always provide a written receipt for fees charged, completely separating any non-notary business fees such as travel expenses from the actual notary fees charged.

Other Information
The main duty of a Notary Public is to show that the notary, a disinterested party, has duly notified the signer of an instrument as to the importance of such document, and the signer of such document has stated that that the signer's identity, signature, and reasons for signing such instrument are genuine. The signature and stamp of a notary public do not prove the genuineness of a signature conclusively, but provide prima facie proof of them, and allow individuals 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.
