As a Texas Notary Public, you handle sensitive personal information, proprietary business contracts, and identity data that carry significant improper notarization liability. To mitigate risks of E&O claims and bond violations, you must establish a legal framework using a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This document ensures that when collaborating with signing agents or assistants, your confidential information—including notary journal entries and non-public identity records—is protected under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 26.01 and state privacy mandates for disposing of business records.
Beyond the standard non-disclosure agreement sections, this template adds fields specific to Notary Public:
The core legal purpose of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is to establish a legal framework to protect confidential and proprietary information shared between parties. It restricts the unauthorized disclosure or use of such information, thereby enabling parties to collaborate, negotiate, or explore business opportunities while safeguarding sensitive information.
Improper notarization liability
Notaries should maintain comprehensive records and use notary journals to document all notarizations. They should also thoroughly verify the identity of signers and ensure all procedures comply with state laws.
Identity fraud
Use of reliable identification verification processes, adherence to state requirements for signer identification, and maintaining a secure notary journal.
For this non-disclosure agreement to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, any restrictive covenants in your NDA must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. Additionally, because Texas is a community property state, your NDA should clearly define 'Confidential Information' to ensure that business-related proprietary data is distinguished from personal assets that could be affected by Texas Homestead Law or divorce proceedings.
Yes. By including specific clauses for 'Obligations of Receiving Party' and 'Permitted Disclosures,' the NDA helps mitigate identity fraud risks by strictly controlling who can access the signer's PII. This compliance with the Revised Model Notary Act standards helps prevent administrative claims against your surety bond by proving you taken requisite steps to secure notarial data.
The 'Remedies for Breach' clause allows you to seek injunctions or damages in Texas courts. Because Texas has unique provisions under the DTPA (Deceptive Trade Practices Act) for consumer protection, having a written agreement satisfies the Statute of Frauds and establishes the jurisdiction and governing law required to enforce your rights efficiently.
