State specific is a long shot.
I write volumes of "how-to" notary information for notaries. I am well grounded in knowledge of Texas notary law. I have years in title, legal, and mortgage work. However, I would be hard-pressed to produce a state-specific course for Texas.
When advertising to course takers that a course is specific to a certain state's laws, that can get a writer/trainer in trouble. It indicates that the trainer or writer is an authority for that state. It means they "know the law." Such courses would need to come from a writer who is probably an attorney and very experienced in federal lending laws plus very knowledgeable in that state's notary laws, business/lending laws, estate/probate and property laws.
A signing agent course should give you a good base for performing loan signings.
If someone tells you that they will provide you a state specific loan signing course, you need to look out for yourself and find out from what authority the author/trainer speaks. Don't rely on their interpretation of your laws unless they have a law degree.
Get the basics and then come back here and study the archives. The manual that is sold here is good. The rest of it has to come from experience and digging for answers.
