You can order a Texas birth certificate by mail from the State Vital Records office,

And how is that a secure piece of informantion? Like the author, I jumped through many of the same hoops when I moved to North Dakota. I got my certified copy of my Colorado BC by telephone from non English speaking Mexican contractor to whom I had to provide an extreme amount of personal information.

And how is that a secure piece of information?

I don't understand the question.

It's a relevant piece of information because the author implies he had no other way to get a copy of his TEXAS birth certificate than by going in person to the county in which he was born. This is not accurate.
