34 Tex. Admin. Code § 33.7 - Acceptable Signatures
(a) A person who
has legal capacity but is physically unable to sign or make a mark may be
assisted by a disinterested witness. For forms which require notarization, the
notary attesting to the signature should make a statement on the document that
assistance was requested and should include the name of the person assisting or
signing the document. If no notary attestation is required on the form, a
disinterested witness to the signing should make a statement on the document
that assistance was requested, include the name of the person assisting, and
sign the statement.
(b) A notary
may sign the name of a person who has legal capacity but is physically unable
to sign or make a mark if directed to do so by the individual, in the presence
of a disinterested witness. The notary who signs the document should make a
statement on the document that assistance was requested and that the signature
was affixed by the notary in the presence of a disinterested witness whose name
should be provided.
