About Gwen
Gwen holds two commissions from the State of Texas: a traditional notary public commission and an online notary public commission. Most mobile notaries in Dallas–Fort Worth hold only the first.
That matters for one practical reason: it means the same person can meet you at your kitchen table this afternoon or over a recorded video session tomorrow morning, without you having to go and find a second provider when the circumstances change.
The work itself is straightforward and has clear limits. Gwen verifies who you are, confirms you are signing willingly, witnesses the signature and applies her seal. She does not draft documents, does not tell you which one you need, and does not explain the legal effect of what you are signing. That boundary is not modesty: it is Texas law, and respecting it is what makes the notarization worth anything.
In Texas, a Notary Public is not the official who, in many other countries, has authority to draft documents, explain their legal effect, or represent a person. Gwen is commissioned by the State of Texas to witness signatures, verify the identity of the signer, and apply her seal. She does not draft documents, does not tell you which document you need, does not explain the legal effect of what you sign, and does not represent you before any court or agency. If you need guidance on what you are signing, speak with someone licensed to practice law in Texas.
Before you book
This list matters as much as the list of services. If anyone in this business offers you something on it, something is wrong.
You bring the document already written and filled in, except for the signature. We cannot draft it, type it, fill in blanks for you, pick the right form, or choose the notarial wording. Get the document from whoever asked you for it (your lender, the court, the agency, the other party) or from a licensed Texas attorney.
We cannot tell you which document you need, what it means, or whether you should sign it. That is for someone licensed to practice law in Texas.
Every signer must appear in person or in an approved online video session, with their own ID. Nobody can sign or appear for someone else.
Only the office that issued them can certify those. We can certify copies of many other documents, such as a diploma.
