This fee will cover the 4 years of your commission.
Notary supplies are an additional charge.
A notary public is personally liable for negligence or fraud in the performance of these duties. My employer would not let me take my notary stamp or record book with me when I left his employment. Under Texas law, the supplies of the notary are to remain in the notary's possession as long as the commission is in force, regardless of who pays for the supplies or commission fees. You may not make a certified copy of a recordable document such as a birth certificate, death certificate or a Deed of Trust. Certified copies must be obtained from the custodian of the record.
