I think apostille birth certificates need to be ordered from the state governments, in this case Texas.

  For anybody whose curious about apostilles (because in the US we generally don't need these): Apostilles are signed by the secretary of state in the state in which you reside. They can apostille any document, including ones they don't issue (e.g. you can get a birth certificate from NJ apostilled in NY or get a _foreign birth certificate_ from a tiny eastern european country apostilled in NY, neat!). You apostille a document on top of getting it notarized by a public notary. You need to travel to your capital to do this. Typically, it can be done same-day (at least it can in NY and NJ). I highly, *highly* recommend paying somebody to apostille your documents. They can almost always notarize them as well. It's a royal pain to do yourself otherwise. Funny enough, getting apostilles is trivial in other countries and costs you nothing. Your documents often already include it and, if you reside in a foreign country, your country's embassy will notarize and apostille it for you. Not so in the United States.
