Generally speaking, being n minutes late isn't really that big of a deal. It's happened before, it'll happen again. The court will likely yell at Beard about it and that'll be the end of it.
But I think y'all are really wrong when you claim that the notarization fraud isn't a big deal. It's a Fucking. Big. Deal. The entire point of having a public notary is that their seal is reliable. By applying his seal to the affidavits even though the affiants weren't present he's committed a crime. It doesn't matter that he's withdrawn the documents, that doesn't eliminate the crime itself.
It's probably not going to really affect Vic's case, but Ty's still in some very hot water.
Texas and a lot of other states have remote notarization. You don't have to physically be there. The problem is you need a license to do remote notarization. Ty did not have a license and probably did not realize it and figured any notary could do it. Which they can't. So to say its a fraud on the court is silly, because he never had to be in their presence in the first place. There was probably a specific way to do remote notarization and he fucked that up.
Its not that he's perpetuating a fraud, because it honestly doesn't matter whether he was present or not. Its whether he had the capacity or authority to do such an action. He didn't. When he realized he didn't, he withdrew them. I don't know why not understanding remote notarization is so complicated.
Is it a fuck up? Absolutely. Did he have to be over their shoulder watching them sign it while being like Joe Biden? No. So claiming its 'fraud' is a huge stretch when the state has already adopted remote notarization.
The biggest argument for fraud was that he wasn't physically present. He didn't need to be. He didn't have the proper requirements, withdrew them and re-subbed them before anything happened. So I think the fraud arguement falls apart.
Saying Ty wanted to commit fraud is laughable. He's winning the case, it makes no fucking sense for him to do so. He was a boomer and fucked up and then corrected it before the court reacted. Yes, falsifying a notary signature is a big deal. He basically didn't have permission to do what he did and corrected it. The requirements for the documents being notarized is that the notary themselves must be in Texas while the other party can be anywhere.
"Shit your honor, I'm a dumb fucking boomer and I thought any public notary could do online notarizin'." Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity.
Now, I think Ty is great. But remember he has 10k people watching him every night, independent entites from both sides judging every move and filing he makes. That's a lot of fucking pressure. So Ty Beard is a human being and fucked up. By the way, you know how to become an online notary in Texas?
You're a notary, you fill out a form and pay fifty dollars. And approval is basically automatic. That's it. So please, tell me, by basically fucking up paperwork with 0 bar of entry, extra qualifications or tests, then rectifying that mistake, how is that fraud? You could make the case he attempted to de-fraud the state of its natural right of 50 of Ty Beard's dollars, but the case? Seriously?
You've already got remote notarization, so that shit doesn't matter. And its basically already a notary who paid fifty bucks. That's all it is to be one. This is much ado about nothing. Its why Lemoinie's reaction was so comical. Because this is equivalent to having the wrong paperwork. If he wasn't a notary, sure. But if you think that forgetting you had to fill out an e-form and submit 50 bucks is sanctionable and fraud, every lawyer in the country would be in jail.
