Can a minor order his own birth certificate in Texas?

FL Vital Statistics won't accept my court order for a Delayed Birth Certificate because it was issued in CA?

  • I am 21 years old and have no birth certificate, social security card, ID of any type because my parents never applied for them.They would not when I asked them to once I came of age to realize it affected me. Since I have turned 18 I have been doing everything possible to obtain these but it's almost impossible it seems.. I desperately need these documents in order to work, go to school, drive, you know all the basic rights citizens are granted. Step 1 is a birth certificate, I can get everything else no prob once I have that. I was born in Florida so I applied for a 'No Record Found' statement form FL Vital Statistics showing that I have no records. They sent it to me with an application for a Delayed Birth Certificate. I filled it out, got the money order, included every document I had to show I existed ( 2 notarized affidavits with eye witness statements from my sister and mother, an Immunization record from when I was 5, High school transcripts from a charter school that accepted me despite the fact I didn't have ID, the no record found statement and a school ID card with picture) and sent it back to FL V.S. They denied me because they needed 2 documents stating my 'place of birth' and the second one I had (the notarized affidavits) they don't accept anymore after 9/11 happened. So they sent me a petition for a Court Ordered Delayed Birth Certificate from a circuit court. The petition they sent me was specific for Florida and the problem is I live in California and I am broke and I don't have ID for travel anyways. So I was stumped! I contacted a legal aid lady who had no clue what to do and sent me on a wild goose chase for a year, suggested I file a birth cert in California so after I finally contacted CA V.S after many attempts and got the docs, sent it to them and got denied because I wasn't born in California I realized the legal adviser was an idiot, so my boyfriend and I did our own research. He found out that according to Health and Safety code of FL and CA all we had to do was petition for a court order in a court of my county of residency OR my county of birth and send that to FL V.S. So we petitioned our county court and basically had to explain to the people at the County Clerks office how to do they're jobs and showed them the health and safety code. I got a court hearing, stood in front of the judge and he signed my petition with minimal questions. (amazingly, California excepts Notarized Affidavits still...) So the court told me to send the signed petition to FL vital statistics, I sent it to them and have been calling them every week for the past 6 weeks. Finally got a call back today, the lady told me she decide my documents were not acceptable because it was from a California court and not Florida court. I told her it didn't matter and read her Florida's Health and Safety code and she said that it didn't matter because my documents weren't 'domesticated' and they needed to because California is 'foreign'. I asked her to explain what she meant by 'domesticated' and she was very evasive, the only thing she said is the document didn't fit their policy and said something about finger printing. I was very angry so she told me to stop yelling and that her attorney would contact me. She hasn't yet.... So my boyfriend was saying maybe I need to send the court order to FL County clerk and that's what she meant by 'domesticated'? Am I left with no other option but to go through a Florida court even though I'm not sure they will accept my Notarized Affidavits? I have no clue how I'm going to get to Florida, my family is broke, my boyfriend can't take any time off or we will fall very far behind so he can't drive me. Has anyone dealt with this kind of case before? BTW, it's under Probate law not Family law, I found that out in court. What do I do? Any help, insights or suggestions would be appreciated, you can pm me too. Thanks!
