Texas law requiring filing of birth's and death's began 1903, not enforced for years. Robert probably did not have a record until he became an adult and filed delayed birth. Below is link to the Texas Dept of State Health Services, all filings go to Austin.
Most cities and counties will not have records from that time as folks just did not run to the courthouse as most were born at home. SS death index indicates Robert Meador filed for his social security # while resident of Ohio and last residence per ss was in Seattle. His application to obtain SS # will have parent's names on it, where they were from, completed by Robert Meador.
James Meador must have died not long after Robert was born as "Jessie B or Jennie B" Taylor remarried about 1908 in Michigan to Wm N Miner of Canada.
