In my case, my parents were married, and my American father MORE than met the requirements......not to mention his purple heart and bronze star, earned at Iwo Jima.

I was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and my dad was American and my mother French. That makes me a citizen from birth, and I was unaware of this requirement when I applied for my first license, but a few weeks after sending everything in, I got a letter back from DPS saying that I need to send them a Certificate of Live Birth showing my birth to an American parent. Sent in a photocopy of the photocopy that I have, plus a photocopy of my current passport. 3-4 weeks later I had the license in hand. Easy peasy.

Most likely, it is the Certificate of Live Birth, signed by the local American Consul or Embassy official nearest your place of birth which is what DPS is going to want to see. The good news is that when you renew, it will no longer be an issue.
