A notary who charges for official services must secure which license?

Explanation:
When a notary charges for official services, you’re operating as a business that may collect sales tax on taxable services. To legally collect and remit that tax in Texas, you must have a tax license (sales tax permit) from the Texas Comptroller. The other options don’t fit: a general business license covers operating your business but doesn’t authorize tax collection; Texas has no state income tax, so income tax registration isn’t applicable; a special permit isn’t the standard requirement for ordinary notary fees.
