Bond + E&O

Texas Notary Bond + E&O Package

Texas requires a traditional notary public to execute a $10,000 surety bond, payable to the Governor, before entering the duties of office. The Secretary of State approves the bond and commissions notaries for a four-year term with statewide jurisdiction. Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is separate and optional.

What you're buying

  • A $10,000 Texas notary surety bond — the guarantee that backs your commission.
  • Errors & omissions coverage with a $25,000 limit, protecting you subject to the policy terms.

Purchase, application, and issuance are completed through The Southern Agency's secure checkout — the licensed insurance agency behind Notary.Bond.
