An educational guide to what Texas law actually sets — see our Pricing page for 247Notary.pro's specific quote.
Texas law caps what a notary can charge for the notarial act itself — it does not cap travel, after-hours, or other service charges. This page explains the statutory maximums under Texas Government Code Chapter 406. For 247Notary.pro's actual pricing, including travel and service charges, see our Pricing page.
Under Tex. Gov't Code §406.024, a Texas notary may charge up to $10 for most notarial acts — acknowledgments, oaths, jurats, and certificates under seal — plus up to $1 for each additional signature notarized on the same document.
Under Tex. Gov't Code §406.111, an online notary may charge up to $25 more than the standard in-person maximum for a remote online notarization.
The $10 (or $25 for RON) figure is only for the notarial act. It does not cover mobile travel time, after-hours or emergency availability, printing, waiting time, or courier/return-shipping — those are separate services a notary can charge for, and Texas law does not set a maximum on them. A professional mobile notary should itemize and disclose these before your appointment.
That's the maximum for the notarial act alone. In practice, almost no mobile or after-hours notary charges only $10 total, because travel and availability are separate, uncapped services — this is standard across the industry, not unique to any one notary.
Not automatically — Chapter 406 sets the figure in statute, and it only changes when the Texas Legislature amends it. Always check the current statute text for the definitive number.
