A Texas Notary Public is a public servant with statewide jurisdiction who is authorized to take acknowledgments, protest instruments (as permitted by law to be protested), administer oaths, take depositions, and certify copies of documents not recordable in the public records.

The primary duty of a Notary Public is to show that an independent, disinterested party (the Notary Public) has declared that the signer’s identity and signature are genuine, and that the signer is willing and able to execute the document.

The signature and seal of a Notary Public do not prove these facts conclusively, but provide prima facie proof of them, and allow persons in trade and commerce to rely upon the truth and veracity of the Notary Public as a third party who has no personal interest in the transaction.

What a Texas Notary Public is NOT!

Unlike Notaries in foreign countries, a Texas Notary Public is NOT an attorney, judge or high-ranking official. A Notary Public is NOT the same as a Notario Publico and these differences can be confusing for immigrants when they approach a Notary Public in this country. Notaries in Texas should be very clear about what they can or cannot do to serve immigrants the right way and steer clear of notario issues.
