Texas I-9 Confusion
Many Texas Notaries a few years ago quit doing I-9 Forms because of the liability & the laws are somewhat confusing regarding government I-9 forms. So, after much conversation with the Texas Secretary of State directly here is the low down:
Some states might authorize their notaries to complete and attest to an I-9 form on behalf of an employer, but Texas notaries are not authorized to do so.
According to information I found in the USCIS Handbook for Employers (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/m-274.pdf), an employer’s “designated agent” can complete the I-9 form on behalf of the employer. The handbook states, with regard to certification of Section 2 of the form, “If a designated agent or notary public completes this section, he or she must provide the employer’s name and address under his or her signature.”
So, an employer could designate an agent to complete the form. A Texas notary has no independent authority to complete the form. If you are a notary, and an employer designates you as its agent to complete the form, then you could complete the form as a designated agent. You could not put your notary stamp on it or otherwise suggest that you completed it in your capacity as a Texas notary.
So what this means in the end you are NOT allowed to put your notary stamp on any I-9 form but you can complete it as an designated agent.

The Colony cracks down on West Nile virus myths
How worried are you about the West Nile Virus? What personal changes have you done? For our family we are not walking at 5am anymore etc. Do you have a bad reaction to most of the anti-mosquitoes medicines out on the market or worried they might cause cancer....
Our family has bad reactions to these types of medicines and wonders what else we can do to protect ourselves even more. Then you add in the fact that I alone average over 700+ miles a week driving to various places not knowing the care they are taking to maintain the facility's. (homes, work places, businesses)
