I cannot quote from my original document, but I have provided a couple of examples from the Internet of the use of this term in similar contexts. I'm not sure of the best translation of 'texte de création'.

Any ideas gratefully received!

Many thanks in advance,

Le ***texte de création*** de l'Agence de développement dans la dernière ligne droite

Le projet de loi relative à la création de l’Agence pour le développement agricole (Ada) est dans la dernière ligne droite. Après son adoption, à la fin de décembre dernier, en plénière par la première Chambre du Parlement, le texte est actuellement en discussion chez les conseillers. Une fois instituée, l’agence sera inévitablement l’instrument de référence pour l’application du «Plan Maroc vert». En effet, compte tenu de son organisation actuelle, le ministère de l’agriculture ne dispose ni des moyens ni des ressources humaines et encore moins de la flexibilité nécessaire pour faire du secteur un moteur majeur du développement économique et social du pays.

constitution

this is the charter or the written rules, terms, etc, setting out the organisation's mission, rules, etc.

This sounds like what you're looking for:.

"A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed" (Wikipedia)

Bill of establishment

Il s'agit d'un "projet de loi", donc "bill", sans aucun doute !

Créer (ici) = to establish

charter (act/of establishment)

I think that's the term used for governmental or non governmental agencies or authorities, as well as for charitable organizations. See the ref. below
For non-profit organizations, "Articles of association" is used; as regards companies, the text or document stating the establishment of a LLC is entitled "Articles of organization" and for an incorporated company it's called "Articles of incorporation".
