Birth Records
Births in Texas were not recorded at the state level until the establishment of the State Department of Public Health and Vital Statistics in 1903. It was as late as the 1930s before births were consistently recorded. The notation "Inf of", meaning "infant of", may appear instead of a first name in the birth indexes.

Death Records
Deaths in Texas were not recorded at the state level until the establishment of the State Department of Public Health and Vital Statistics in 1903. It was as late as the 1930s before deaths were consistently recorded. In the case of the death of an infant, the notation "Inf of", meaning "infant of", sometimes appears instead of a first name in the death indexes. Women are sometimes listed under their husband's first name.
