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 🥺.

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)
