Our office does not file the "Oath of Office" for staff members with the Secretary of State and I don't think we need to; however, some folks suggest that they should be. The law requires many elected officials (including elected DAs), state office holders, and appointed state office holders to file these documents with the Secretary of State.

Are there any offices (CA and DA) that file the non-elected employee oaths with the Secretary of State?

They won't take them for the ADA's or ACA's or ACDA's, so it's a moot point.

We do NOT file ADA oaths with the SOS. We do file our paperwork--including a written oath--with the County Clerk. See Tex. Local Gov't Code Sec. 154.043(b).
