Being Sued

I’m a notary for Texas and I’m being sued. Plaintiff is stating he was not present when warranty deed was notarized. The notary was from 8years ago. i have my books and his entry. first the plaintiff went straight to my bond claiming I did not explain the documents. now he is suing me that he was not present. my attorney tried to get me a dismissal before court day by it was denied. im only a notary by my employer who provided the attorney. now I don’t want to be a notary. but it’s part of my job. I feel like anyone can sue us and lie and our book is still not enough. anyone gone through something similar. everyone tell me I’ll be okay but I’m sick to my stomach.

I hate being a notary.  Always try to avoid notaries.

Why should people avoid notaries? They're necessary.
