Bank of America: no fee at many financial centers
Bank of America says notary service is “available at no cost in many of our financial centers” and that it does not charge a fee for notary services. Schedule an appointment; typical appointments take about 30 minutes; bring all pages of the document and state-acceptable ID for every signer. A bank associate may or may not be able to act as a witness, so bring your own. Source: Bank of America: Notary Services, checked 2026-10-23.
TODO: Bank of America does not say here which Dallas-area financial centers have a notary, or whether non-customers are served. Use the bank's locator and call.

Not offering notary service (per their own pages)
Garland Public Library (FAQ), Arlington Public Library (FAQ), Frisco Public Library (library post, Sept. 2025). Irving Public Library’s services page lists no notary service.

Do not add any of them until confirmed from the organization's own page.
