What is a Texas notary bond?
A Texas notary bond is a three-party agreement in which a bonding (surety) company financially guarantees to the Texas Secretary of State that the Texas notary will perform their duties lawfully, ethically, and in accordance with Texas notary law. If a claim is made and approved, the surety company will pay the claim and seek reimbursement from the notary.
Why do I need a Texas notary bond?
To protect the public from financial loss caused by a notary’s negligence or misconduct, Texas law requires all first-time notary applicants and notaries renewing their commissions to maintain a four-year, $10,000 Texas notary bond for the duration of the notary’s commission term.
A Texas notary bond does not provide any financial protection to the Texas notary. It solely protects the public. For that reason, many Texas notaries choose to purchase a notary errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy.
