“ 1) complete the medical certification not later than five days after receiving the death or fetal death certificate”
The death certificate comes first. Which is required to be reported within ten days of the date of death. File the same thing I did and try and see what they say.
It seems that Texas does not consider death certificates public until they are over 25 years old. This information is restricted to “qualified applicants” only.
This relates to getting a copy of the certificate. I have no idea if they’d simply claim “someone by this name died on this date in this location” or if they would not. Although your return letter seems to indicate they found nothing; I’d assume they would send a letter telling you its restricted. But no experience trying it. I’m not a Texas resident so it automatically precludes me from trying.

That’s why I filed for a record of death, which isn’t the same as a death certificate for legal reasons.
