Additional Fee Information
​
Though not specifically mentioning notaries as state officers in the statute, Texas law requires 'state officers' to bill clients for all expenses. Therefore, we will always prepare a detailed bill for any services we perform as a notary public. Fees will be discussed with our signer before performing the notarial act to avoid confusion or discrepancies. Palacio Oviedo will provide a written receipt for any fees charged, completely separating any non-notary fees such as travel expenses (time and expense) from the actual notary fees charged (unless requested otherwise).
