Question 3

Which technology platform feature is required for a Texas RON session?

Accepted Answer

Real-time audio and video communication allowing the notary to see and hear the signer

Answer

Texas RON requires a platform that provides real-time, two-way audio and video communication so the notary can see and interact with the signer.

Question 4

In a Texas RON journal entry, what must be recorded about the technology used?

Accepted Answer

The name of the communication technology or platform used for the session

Answer

The journal must identify the communication technology or platform used for the RON session to document how the signer's presence was established.

Question 5

What must a Texas notary do if their RON platform experiences a technical failure during a session?

Stop the session and reschedule when a reliable connection can be established

A technical failure that disrupts the required audio-visual connection means the notary cannot confirm the signer's identity and must stop and reschedule the session.
