The U.S. papers from Irving the consulate asks for
For the birth transcription you need the U.S. certificate, which in Texas is issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail (CDC).
For the marriage transcription, a marriage in Dallas County (the county of Irving) is proven with the certificate from the Dallas County Clerk (CDC), apostilled.
To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in Texas it is issued by the Texas Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
