14. What is it about Texas?

Being born at home doesn't necessarily mean that you can't get your birth registered. My parents were both born at home in New York state in the early 1920s (being born in a hospital was still a new-fangled thing in their economic range) and they both had official birth certificates.

There are ways for people to establish their identities, using church baptismal records or the equivalent, or testimony from people who remember them from early childhood, or school records - but it seems that Texas is just ignoring these and sticking to the absolute letter of the law despite legal rulings. Maybe she should get an NRA membership card and use that as an ID.
