That "seal here" verbiage is one of my biggest pet peeves.

"Does anyone know if TX requires deeds notarized in a state that does not require seals to have a seal anyway in order to be recorded?"

Maybe your question explains why this happens. This is just a vent, but I've never been able to understand the utility of advising a notary public that their seal/stamp belongs 'here' (something we should all certainly know if required to use one), especially by putting those words in precisely the place where the the stamp belongs.

Most of us know that, at the very least, it's a best practice to not place one's stamp over any verbiage, and I believe it may be illegal in some states. It's a common understanding here in CA that we shouldn't stamp over any verbiage, although I remember once unsuccessfully trying to find any reference to that in our notary Code. (Anyone?) At minimum, it's just common sense.

Perhaps this is just one more little tidbit to add to the pile of common misinformation by document drafters about the notarization process... Wink But if someone has some specific info on the whys and wherefores, I'd love to hear it. FWIW, in a situation where I don't have room for my stamp, I add a loose certificate. I do know that there are counties (if not entire states) where a certain size margin is required for recording.
