1. Texas-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 6.25% state rate. Most services rendered in Texas are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. Most labor exempt; tangible goods and certain services taxable. Combined max 8.25%.
- Late-fee cap: Texas statute Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §2.207; Tex. Fin. Code §302.002 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Texas get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Notary Public line items + standard terms
Every notary public invoice in Texas should itemize work clearly. Standard notary publics use Net 0 terms with no deposit required.
- Notarization (per signature) — billed by flat.

3. Notary Public licensing in Texas
State commission required. Per-act fees are capped by state statute. NSA background check required for loan signings.
4. Send and follow up
Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Texas customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
