No, a notary public in Texas cannot issue a subpoena duces tecum without a deposition. Subpoenas are typically issued by a court or an attorney as part of the legal process, and a notary's role is primarily to witness signatures and authenticate documents. In Texas, a subpoena must be issued by the court or an attorney authorized to practice law in that jurisdiction.

A subpoena which requests items be brought with the person is called a "subpoena duces tecum". A subpoena is an order directed to an individual commanding him to appear in court on a certain day to testify or produce documents in a pending lawsuit. The power to subpoena a person is granted officers of the court, such as clerks of courts, attorneys and judges. A person may be subpoenaed to appear in court or any designated location to provide testimony for trial or deposition or produce documents or other evidence.
If the notary forgot to sign, the document is not notarized.

In Texas, a party to a lawsuit generally cannot refuse to participate in a deposition if properly served with a notice to do so. Failing to attend a deposition could lead to legal consequences such as being held in contempt of court. However, there are limited circumstances where a deposition can be challenged or restricted through a court order.
In Texas, it is generally not considered best practice for a notary public to notarize a document for a family member, as it may create a conflict of interest or give the appearance of impropriety. It is recommended to seek another notary who is not related to the individual signing the document to ensure impartiality and adherence to ethical standards.
