Especially those talking about "modernizing notarial acts" or "electronic notarial acts."
Texas has a new bill afloat. HB 3309.
--->[By the way, if you are a Texas notary, I'm probably going to ask you to write your representative once I get this one figured out. I'll be calling the capitol tomorrow. Please PM me and I will keep you in the loop]<---
I went through HB 3309 line by line tonight.

Check your bills closely. Texas HB 3309 contains a whole bunch of Virginia's webcam law verbatim without actually saying A/V conferences are okay for e-notarization...
