Service Area
Garland-based, mobile across DFW.
Three tiers of coverage with transparent mileage rules. Most appointments fall within the primary service area with no mileage surcharge. Standard DFW Metroplex coverage adds straightforward per-mile pricing. Beyond DFW is available by arrangement, and Remote Online Notary works statewide and beyond.
Coverage Tiers
Three tiers, transparent pricing.
Mileage is calculated round-trip from 75040 using standard navigation routing, applied only beyond the primary service area. The full pricing structure is also available on the Fees page.
Tier 1 — Primary Service Area
Within 15 miles of Garland 75040
No mileage surcharge — included in the published service rates.
Covers the eastern DFW corridor where the practice is geographically focused. Most appointments fall within this zone with predictable scheduling and no travel-related surprises.

Primary Service Area Detail
The eastern DFW corridor.
The 15-mile primary service area covers most of the eastern half of the Metroplex. If your appointment falls within these communities, the standard service rate is the full quote — no mileage adds, no travel-time premium.

Coverage edges depend on the specific address — some neighborhoods near the 15-mile boundary fall just inside, others just outside. The Auto Lookup feature on the quote tool gives the exact distance for any address. If your location is on the edge, just ask — small fractions over the line are typically included.
Standard DFW Detail
Coverage across the Metroplex.
Beyond the 15-mile primary area, mileage applies at $2 per mile, calculated round-trip from 75040. The math is straightforward and quoted upfront in writing.
Standard DFW coverage extends to the full 12-county Metroplex MSA: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, and Wise counties.
Common Tier 2 destinations include Western Plano, Allen, Frisco, McKinney, downtown Dallas, Park Cities, Uptown, Oak Cliff, Irving, Las Colinas, Carrollton, Addison, Grand Prairie, Arlington, downtown Fort Worth, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Forney, Terrell, Waxahachie, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, and most of the suburban communities ringing the inner cities.
Mileage examples
20 miles one-way: 5 miles beyond primary × 2 (round trip) × $2 = $20 mileage
30 miles one-way: 15 miles beyond primary × 2 × $2 = $60 mileage
40 miles one-way: 25 miles beyond primary × 2 × $2 = $100 mileage
50 miles one-way: 35 miles beyond primary × 2 × $2 = $140 mileage
Beyond DFW & Remote Sessions
When the work is farther.
In-person beyond the 12-county DFW MSA is available by individual arrangement. Common scenarios include estate signings at out-of-area senior living facilities, hospital appointments in adjacent regions, and B2B partnerships with offices outside DFW. Pricing is quoted individually based on distance, document complexity, and timing — there’s no formulaic rate beyond DFW because the considerations vary.
Remote Online Notary (RON) handles signers anywhere Texas RON is recognized — currently statewide within Texas and across most other U.S. states. The signer joins an audio-visual session from wherever they are, identification is verified electronically, and the notarial act is performed remotely. Common use cases include out-of-state real estate transactions, signers traveling for work, and documents with tight timelines that don’t allow for travel logistics.
Geographic FAQ
Common questions about coverage.
How exactly is mileage calculated?
From the 75040 zip code (Garland, Texas) to your appointment address, using standard driving directions, rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile. The first 15 miles each direction are included with no surcharge. Miles beyond that point are billed round-trip at $2 each. So a 25-mile-each-way appointment carries 10 miles beyond primary one-way × 2 directions × $2 = $40 in mileage.
What if I’m right at the 15-mile boundary?
If your appointment falls 15.0 to about 16 miles out, the practical answer is “no surcharge” — small fractions over the line are typically included rather than billed. The 15-mile boundary is a planning convenience, not a hard cliff. Locations clearly beyond the boundary (17+ miles) get the standard $2/mile pricing.
Do you ever decline an appointment based on location?
Rarely, and not based on geography alone. Far edges of the Metroplex (50+ miles each way) may carry timing constraints depending on the day’s existing schedule, but they’re not declined as a rule. Beyond the 12-county DFW MSA, in-person appointments are by arrangement — for those, RON is often the better fit. The honest answer is that location matters less than scheduling fit; if the timing works, the geography usually works.
If I’m at a hospital or facility, does the setting premium replace mileage?
No — the setting premium and mileage are separate considerations. The $35 hospital, hospice, or senior living premium covers the additional coordination involved in a facility appointment (advance arrangements, capacity considerations, navigating clinical schedules). Mileage applies on top if the facility is beyond the primary service area. Both are quoted upfront before booking.
For loan signings, does mileage apply differently?
Direct title company assignments at the flat $225 rate include mileage within the standard DFW MSA — no separate per-mile charges for typical closing locations. Marketplace assignments through signing services follow each platform’s mileage conventions. Beyond standard DFW, direct title work is quoted individually based on the specific assignment.
