In order to apply for a notary commission and execute the duties of a notary public, you must obtain a $10,000 bond issued by a bonding agency authorized to conduct business in the state of Texas. The Texas notary bond must be maintained throughout the entire 4-year term of office. The Texas notary bond protects the public against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Texas notary. Keep in mind, the notary bond protects the public, not the notary. For protection as a notary, consider notary errors & omissions insurance.
