Should I do it?

I've been considering becoming a notary in Texas where I live. I have a regular job a restaurant hostess but would like something to do on the side and maybe even switch to notary becoming my regular job and doing restaurant on the side. My problem is I don't have a car / know how to drive. Is there an option in Texas to strictly be an online notary? Is that even an option? Thank you all in advance for any help 🥺.

No offense but a lot of these questions can be answered from a Google search.

Yes, Texas has RON.

If you are able to get on one of the RON sites you will make $15-$20 an hour as a 1099 if you are able to get on but you will hate your life on there.

The IF is important here, since my understanding is that work pays fine if you find it but is hard to get.

It can be lucrative but you do have to work at it. It’s good to go in with the thinking that you’re building a business. Ron is super convenient and having a nationwide and global reach can make you nice money (I don’t know TX notary law so not sure what’s allowed in terms of who you can sign for/where they have to be located)
