Texas Notary Surety Bond
Texas law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $10,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 4-year commission. The cost of this bond is $50.
Notary bonds protect the public from financial harm caused by a Notary’s mistakes or misconduct. It is not insurance protection for Texas Notaries.
