Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/24/2021 --The Texas legislature is introducing a bill in the 21st legislative session that will require certain real estate transactions to include an additional notary stamp. To help reduce fraudulent transactions on real estate documentations, the extra notary stamp will be recorded with the county clerk's office.

The additional notary seal has supplemental provisions that must be followed. First, the additional stamp must leave an indentation when affixed to paper documents. Next, the seal must be affixed over the notary's signature. Lastly, it must be applied over every document to be recorded. The Texas Secretary of State will establish the requirements for this additional stamp. If, however, real estate documents do not include the additional notary stamp, they will not be able to be processed with the county clerk's office.
