Floyd Waller H. B. 614, 46th Leg., Reg. Ses. 1939 as amended in 1941, is as follows: Effective July 2, 1941 "Any citizen of the State of Texas wishing to file the record of any birth or death that occurred in Texas, and previoously registered, may submit to the Probate Court in the County where such birth or death occurred, a record of such birth written on the adopted forms of birth and death certificates; AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT ANY CITIZEN OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WISHING TO FILE THE RECORD OF ANY BIRTH OR DEATH THAT OCCURRED OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, NOT PREVIOOUSLY REGISTERED, MAY SUBMIT TO THE PROBATE COURT IN THE COUNTY WHERE HE RESIDES A RECORD OF THAT BIRTH OR DEATH WRITTEN ON THE ADOPTED FORMS OF BIRTH AND DEATH CERTIFICATES. The certificate shall be substantiated by the affidavit of the medical attendant present at the time of the birth, or in the case of death, the affidavit of the physician last in attendance upon the deceased, or the under taker who buried the body. When the affidavit of the medical attendant or undertaker cannot be secured, the certificate shall be supported by the affidavit of some person who was acquainted with the facts surrounding the birth or death, at the time the birth or death occurred, with a second affidavit of some person who is acquainted with the facts surrounding the birth or death, and who is not related to the individual by blood or marriage. The Probate Court shall require such other information or evidence as may be deemed necessary to establish the citizenship of the individual filing the certificate, and the truthfulness of the statement made in that record. The Clerk of the said Court shall forward the certificate to the State Bureau of Vital Statistics with an order from the Court to the State Registrar that the record be, or be not, accepted. The State Registrar is authorized to accept the certificate when verified in the above manner, and shall issue certified copies of such records as provided for in Section 21 of this Act. Such cer- tified copies shall be prima facie evidence in all Courts and places of the facts stated thereon. The State Bureau of Vital Statistics shall furnish the forms upon which such records are filed, and no other form shall be used for that purpose." (That portion of the above, written in capitals, is the amendment included in H. B. 974, which became effective July 2, 1941.)
