Pricing
Texas sets the notarial fees by statute. The travel fee is the part that changes by location, timing, and setting, so both numbers are published here before anyone gets in the car.

Worked examples
What it actually costs
One power of attorney, one signer, inside Beltway 8, weekday
$10 + $45 = $55
Two documents, two signers each, 25 miles out, weekday
$10 + $1 + $10 + $1 + $65 = $87
One document at a hospital, Saturday evening
$10 + $75 + $30 = $115
Online notarization, one signer, one seal
$10 + $25 = $35
The price is quoted and agreed before travel begins. The travel fee is a separate non-notarial service charge, not a notary fee.
