Found these listings in the Texas Birth Index, 1903-1997 at ancestry!.com:
1!. Name: Jose Rodriguez
Date of Birth: 29 Apr 1942
Gender: Male
Birth County: Guadalupe
Father's Name: Jose Rodriguez
Mother's Name: Ofelia Cuellar
Roll Number: 1942_0008

2!. Name: Jose Rodriguez (**)
Date of Birth: 29 Apr 1945
Gender: Male
Birth County: Travis
Father's Name: Jose Rodriguez
Mother's Name: Anastacia Guagardo
Roll Number: 1945_0009
(I would place my bet on this one, because some Hispanic surnames consist of both the father's and mother's family name!. So, if he changed the spelling occasionally, the "j" in his middle name could once have been a "g")

3!.(one day off):
Name: Jose Rodriguez
Date of Birth: 28 Apr 1939
Gender: Male
Birth County: Webb
Father's Name: Rosendo Rodriguez
Mother's Name: Guadalupe Torres
Roll Number: 1939_0007

Was he, or did he get, married after 1968!?!? http://www!.worldvitalrecords!.com/SingleI!.!.!. has these listings:

1 Bride: Escobedo, Mary E --Age: 23

(There were others with the same first name & middle initial G, but the dates/ages didn't match!.I think you may have put this on ancestry!.com's Message Board, so my second entry above** was sent there, too!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

about Jose Rodriguez
Name: Jose Rodriguez

Gender: Male
Birth County: Guadalupe
Father's Name: Jose Rodriguez
Mother's Name: Ofelia Cuellar
Roll Number: 1942_0008

I'm sure you know there are many, many Jose Rodriguez' everywhere I can look -- there are a handful of Ofelia or Ophelia Cuellar's born in about 1920 as well!. Do you know if she was born in Texas, California, or Mexico!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think Terry B has pinpointed dad accurately!. Someone uhhh!.!.!. friendly with the law, is very likely to have used alternate birth dates!.
Sorry my account is not open at this time!.!. what I also suggest is working for other children born to this couple, in case there are living siblings that you don't know about!.
Be sure that your email is open for business, since if someone finds living persons, it must go straight to you, and not post on the board!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I searched for a Jose Rodriguez with the mother's maiden name of Guajardo in the Ancestry!.com Texas Birth Index, 1903-1997!.
There are only 2 listed born in the 1930s and 1940s:

Name | Birth Date | Birth County | Father's Name | Mother's Name | Roll number

Jose Antonio Rodriguez | 24 Sep 1932 | Kendall | Jose Rodriguez | Anestacia Guajardo | 1932_0006

Jose Rodriguez | 29 Apr 1945 | Travis | Jose Rodriguez | Anastacia Guagardo | 1945_0009

+++++
Searching Ancestry's Texas Birth Index using just the date 29 April 1938 gave 4 Rodriguez -- none are Jose!.

Name | Birth date | County | Father | Mother
Enrique Rodriguez | 29 Apr 1938 | Cameron | Juan Rodriguez | Paula Garcia
Rosalinda Rodriguez | 29 Apr 1938 | Val Verde | Cristobal Rodriguez | Soledad Salas
Servando JR!. Rodriguez | 29 Apr 1938 | Webb | Servando Rodriguez | Maria C De Rodriguez
Consuela Rodriquez | 29 Apr 1938 | Sutton | Gregorio Rodriquez | Manuela Delgado

I also checked for any births of a Jose Guajardo in 1938 and got these:
Jose Andres Guajardo | 29 Jul 1938 | Bexar | Policarpio Guajardo | Guadalupe Ortega
Jose Ernesto Guajardo | 1 Apr 1938 | Hidalgo | Jose Maria Guajardo | Maria Del Jesus Gallegos

+++++
I could not find an obituary for Jose or a Social Security Death Index listing for the date and location you gave!.

Since Jose was lying about his information, the Society Security Office records and his death certificate probably will be incomplete or have mis-information!. You need to work backwards in time -- the earlier the better -- to find any other run-ins with the law, any jobs, any schooling, any church attendance!. If you know the town in Texas where he was born, check the local churches for Baptismal records!. See if the local newspaper has been index and look for him there!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
