NNA writing about Texas Notaries...
http://www.nationalnotary.org/news/index.cfm?Text=newsNotary&newsID=1230#top
==========
At the above link there are some interesting statements made. See below.
I just can't find it in the 80th Leg. Session changes. Perhaps there are other Texas notaries who will be able to find it and show it to me.
I know about SS numbers, naturally...it's true that the county clerk, et al, must redact SS numbers before giving out copies and it's been a major ordeal in the courthouses...however, I can't find the new "laws" referenced in the article I refer to.
Sigh...I have to wait til Tuesday to talk to a lawyer about it. I can't find the changes to the code where this has been stated. Not saying it's not the truth, just can't find the 411 I am looking for.
==========
Texas Notaries are now prohibited from entering the numbers from a signer’s identification card in their journals under a change in the state’s Administrative Code.
Though Texas law does not require Notaries to write signers’ ID serial numbers — such as those found on a passport, driver’s license, nondriver ID or a Social Security card — in their journal of notarial acts, many Notaries have chosen to do so.
The amended rules, effective this past April, specify that Notaries may still record the address of a signer in a journal entry. Also, court clerks notarizing documents for court are exempted from the new journal ID number restriction.

Is this what you're looking for?

It shows a revision date of April 22, 2007.
Actually, I went here first, which told me where to find the rule in the T.A.C.: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/statdoc/edinfo.shtml#Record, in the note under the first section, "Record Book and Public Records."
