Purchase notary supplies and a four-year, $10,000 notary bond
The state requires each notary to pay a $21.00 state filing fee and to be bonded for $10,000. The cost of the four-year notary bond is only $50. At a minimum, a Texas notary must have a notary stamp and record to perform their notarial duties.
