TX Death Certs & Verifications. Help?

Surnames: Galvan
I want to order my 2x great-grandmother's death cert from El Paso County. I have a date of death for a woman that might be her, but I need to know her parents' names, which I don't. It seems I can order the death verification, but does that have info like parents' names? (I've never seen a TX death cert or verification, just from CA.) Otherwise I don't see what good it'll do me to order this.

Comments?

Info I have:
Name: Isabel Galvan
Date of death: 10 Jul 1926
Death County: El Paso
Certificate: 24883

The only other info I have on her is:
Name: Isabel Galban
Arrival Date: 31 Aug 1914
Port of Arrival: El Paso, Texas, United States
Birth Location: San Jose (incorrect, it's Jerez, Zac, MX)
Gender: Female
Record has photo?: No
Record Type: Manifests

That's not the person you seek. Isabel Galvan (2 Jul 1926 - 10 Jul 1926) was an infant born to Victoriano Galvan and Luz Garcia. Logon https://familysearch.org/ and setup a "free" user account with password. That's required to access/print those death certificates permitted by law. Texas mandates a 25-year waiting period for access to death certificates by the "general public". Of course that does not apply to next-of-kin. Information on death certificates is only as reliable as the knowledge of the person providing same!

If you have access to ancestry.com, there is a public family tree (Avila Family) owned by davila147. Find it http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/10305285/person/-661933383 There is a picture of Esebelle (nee: Avina) Galvan. Per tree owner, she died in Iowa. Many public libraries, found in major cities, provide access to ancestry.com. You can forward an email, via ancestry.com, to the tree's owner for more info.
