✍️ Sample TX NNJE Questions & Answers
1. Should Texas notaries record the fee charged in their notary journal?
Recording the fee charged for each notarial act in the journal is recommended best practice to document compliance with Texas fee limits.
2. A Texas notary receives a subpoena for their notary journal. What must the notary do?
A valid court subpoena requires the notary to produce the journal; compliance with a subpoena is a legal obligation that overrides normal confidentiality considerations.
3. How many sequential notarial acts should appear on a single journal line or row (per best practice)?
Best practice requires one notarial act per journal entry to ensure clarity and avoid confusion in the record.
4. What distinguishes a 'signature witnessing' from an 'acknowledgment' in Texas notarial practice?
In a signature witnessing, the notary must observe the actual signing; an acknowledgment only requires the signer to confirm their signature was voluntary.
5. If a Texas notary charges more than the statutory maximum fee, what is the potential consequence?
Charging above the statutory maximum is a violation of Texas notary law and can result in disciplinary action, including revocation of the notary's commission.
6. For a Texas Remote Online Notarization (RON), what additional identification method may be used beyond a photo ID?
Texas RON rules permit knowledge-based authentication (KBA), which involves dynamic questions about the signer's personal history to verify identity remotely.
