The lowest offers are $35 for a mobile visit and $75 for a loan signing; many jobs pay more.
Jobs are offered one at a time, as clients ask, to contractors whose travel radius covers the address, whether near Houston, San Antonio and Dallas or a smaller town in Texas. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.

Texas commission
What Texas sets for notaries
Your commission comes from the Texas Secretary of State, Notary Public Unit. Texas commissions last four years. The SB 693 education applies to renewing notaries as well as new ones, so plan time for the portal course before each renewal.
Fee cap for a notarial act in Texas: $10 for acknowledgments, oaths and most other acts. The Secretary of State fee page we read does not mention a travel fee, so ask the notary what they charge and get the total before you book.
