A COLB, like the one Obama posted, is what the Department of Vital Stataistics gives people asking for a copy of their birth certificate. It is a certified copy and is indeed acceptable identification in the State of Texas.
In fact, if the applicant in Texas has an unexpired U.S. Passport or Military ID card, they don't even need to provide any sort of birth document.
I'm not making this up; you can look for yourself:

I also resent you characterizing my previous remarks as "misinformation".
Sorry, but the State's website doesn't agree with you.
Depends on which state you're talking about. Despite the state of Hawaii trying to get around their own rules, any person who was born there can still get a copy of their LFBC.
My home state is California. I have yet to see a short form COLB issued by them. When I needed a fresh copy of my bc in 2009, they sent me a copy of my original long form. As far as I know, it's all they issue.
From what other Freepers have posted on these threads (over the last three years), the rules for acceptable documentation also vary from state to state, and agency to agency.
Now, I don't know if you're trying to make the case that Barry's short form COLB is sufficient proof of his parentage and citizenship. We've gone round and round on the minutiae of this thing so much, that I'm not sure what point you were originally trying to make.
In my mind, the central focus of this whole question is the fact that Obama has shown nothing so far, but a secondary abstract of his original documentation, which should be a bar too low for the office of president.
Secondly, we can't really prove that he's ineligible under Article II, Section I, unless we see the primary document. It's been fairly well established that the COLB his campaign presented is likely a forgery. At the very least, there are too many authenticity issues with it to accept it as prima facia evidence.
Is he the son of a Kenyan subject, and therefore not NBC? We can't know that, unless we see the LFBC.
