Texas began keeping birth records in 1903, although many births did not get recorded in that 1903-1926 time periord. The Texas State Library does have the index to births (in book fomat) beginning with 1903, but not on-line. The published index gives only the child's name, date of birth, the county and the certificate number. Linda E.
