No! You are a public official appointed by the Secretary of State. Your seal and certificate are tools of your public office. Even if your employer purchased your Texas notary commission and supplies, they have no legal right to keep these tools from you. Never surrender control of your Texas notary stamp and/or certificate to anyone.
