Important information the public needs to know about "standard" questions asked by a TX Notary!

So onto some basic questions good notaries will ask at first point of contact:

Name?

Address where documents are to be signed?

Type and names of documents?

How many signatures total?

Number of pages?

And more questions depending upon the client if they need me to bring Jurats etc

Questions the public needs to ask a notary before hiring them:

Are they current with the Secretary of State?

Are they GBLA compliant? See website for more details on this DashNotary.com

Are they Bonded? How much?  -- yes Dash Notary is

Do they have E & O insurance? – yes, $50,000

How many signings have they completed?

At signing make sure you record in the Official Journal of Notarial Acts—if notary does not ask you to do this = Illegal in State of Texas not to record any notary acts. Stop the proceedings. ** Again this information pertains to notary that is not attorney etc

Base fee information for Dash Notary:

> $10 PER Signature (if two signers it would be 10$ each signer per sig) this is discussed in the first phone call and agreed upon by both parties. In most cases payment is dealt with upfront after verification of the folks. Dash Notary takes credit cards on-site and can send receipt to phone or email at time of signing.  This fee is always negotiable (*lower* not higher since that is max fee per state of Texas I can charge for the signature is $10) Example would be other day I did a NJ signing at a clients house for closing a home. The base rate would have been $265. I charged $125 total-- there was complications to it which I was able to fix at 9pm at night /smiles.

> Medical, durable, financial, general PoA / wills up to 10 pages starting at $25.

>  After hours or not?--which for Dash Notary is 8pm CST = $25. being we are a 24 hour notary.

> Travel fees are based on mileage from place to place – base range of 10 miles is included, after that travel fees apply.

> Video recording fees -discussed at time of conversation- NO editing to be done to the raw footage -- my question would it be you or your clients paying for the video?

> Video on cd or not etc $10.00 with (email link option~still working on this for legal reasons might not be able to email video link)

> Is there to be print outs etc

Remember this is only for Dash Notary in the State of Texas general outline of good business practice.
