The Texas Secretary of State will reject any non-recordable document (such as a Texas authorization letters) if the notarization on the non-recordable document is not a physically wet ink signed and stamped by a Texas notary public or signed and stamped electronically by a licensed Texas e-notary, virtual notary, remote notary, or online notary services company.
The affiant’s signature (the person or people who will sign the Texas letters in front of a Texas notary public) on the Texas legal letters must be the original.
