Texas: Notarizing Without the Signer’s Presence

Texas Government Code § 406.0091 states that a Texas notary commits an offense if the notary performs a notarization knowing that the signer, grantor, maker, or principal did not personally appear before the notary at the time the notarization was performed.

This offense is generally a Class A misdemeanor, but it becomes a state jail felony if the document being notarized involves the transfer of real property or any interest in real property. A Class A misdemeanor in Texas may carry a fine of up to $4,000, confinement in jail for up to one year, or both. An individual adjudged guilty of a state jail felony will be punished by confinement in a state jail for any term of not more than two years or less than 180 days. In addition to confinement, an individual adjudged guilty of a state jail felony may be punished by a fine not to exceed $10,000.

Know the Law Before You Notarize

These examples show why notaries should never take their duties lightly. Notaries should be familiar with their state’s laws and regulations, understand the penalties for noncompliance, and perform every notarial act in compliance with the law.
