Mark, first you need to make a trip to

the clerk's office and see how many loans are being recorded.

That will tell you whether or not there is any work to get. The work may be really slow.

Once you figure that out; come back and we'll brainstorm this out.

Never go on appointment or to a title co. without a nice shirt and tie on…
Always look and act professional.

Always wear shoes - no boots, unless it is snowing, then galoshes are ok.

Smiles are usually welcome as well.

No, no, no - you are thinking of the hat rule.

Flip flops are acceptable in Texas and other Gulf states.

Flip flops are acceptable in Texas...

...unless you are a native Texan. In which case, no footwear at all is really necessary; Texas soles are tough enough to walk unshod across anything ranging from a bed of cactus to a bed of coals. Texans do wear boots, it is true, but mostly for working in the saddle and kicking Yankee butts.

I thought notaries were supposed to wear

Powdered wigs and black robes, no?

In Florida flip flops are the norm for a lot of professional women, but you never see men wearing flip flops in a professional environment.

Wrong again

those are, what we ladies call, little strappy sandles. Men can wear them also, but they call them Birkenstocks.

You are correct in that wigs are nice as well, but without powder in all this humidity. We leave that for those up north, who call it snow.
