Editorial Policy

How posts are written

Blog posts and public guides on NotaryHub are written by the NotaryHub Editorial Team. We do not invent people, quotes, or prices. When a post uses a worked example to illustrate a process, it is labeled Example scenario so readers can tell illustration apart from a verified claim.

How posts are sourced

We cite primary sources inline. For Texas notary topics, that means the authorities that publish the rule or process — each with an as-of date when we last checked it:

• Texas Government Code chapter 406 (Notary Public) — as of Oct 2026
• 1 Texas Administrative Code chapter 87 (Notary Public) — as of Oct 2026
• Texas Secretary of State notary guidance — as of Oct 2026
• County clerk and Texas Department of Motor Vehicles pages for local filing or title facts — as of the date shown on each citation

Secondary summaries (including our own older posts) are not treated as primary sources. If a statute, rule, or agency page changes after a post’s as-of date, treat the official text as controlling until we update the post.

How reviews work

After a post is checked against those sources, it shows Last reviewed Mon YYYY (for example, Last reviewed Oct 2026). That date is when we last verified the cited primary sources — not a promise that the law will stay the same afterward.

A licensed Texas notary may review posts in the future. When that happens, the reviewer is named on the post with a link to their NotaryHub profile. Until a reviewer is set, posts credit the NotaryHub Editorial Team only.

Corrections

If you find an error or an outdated citation, send details through the site contact form . We review reports and update posts when the primary sources support a change.
