A Texas notary bond guarantees to any third party that if the Texas notary public fails to perform the duties allowed by law, the surety company will provide coverage to the third party for any damages up to $10,000. The bond company would then proceed to demand payment from the notary public and, if necessary, sue the notary public to recover the $10,000 paid to the third party.

An errors and omissions insurance policy protects the Texas notary against unintentional mistakes and pays for any charges the notary might owe in legal fees and court costs should the notary be sued.

Texas notaries are required to maintain a $10,000 bond for the term of the notarial commission. State employees follow different procedures to obtain or renew a notary commission.
