TEXAS NOTARY PUBLIC FEES

***Tex Gov't Code Ann §406.024 sets out the maximum fees a Notary Public, or their employer, may charge for notary public services. Sec. 603.008 of the Gov't Code requires a Notary Public to keep posted the fees that a notary is authorized by law to charge. Sec 603.007 of the Gov't Code states that a Notary Public must itemize the fees the notary charges for performing notarial services.  A fee under this chapter is not payable to whom the fee is due until the clerk or officer to whom the fee is due produces and signs a bill containing the details of the fees to the person who owes the fee.
