There is normally no passport control on TXL-CDG (there is a tiny chance that France may impose an extraordinary passport control on the inbound flight). You go through security at TXL and you should disembark inside the secure area of CDG, you then have to go through proper passport control to exit the Schengen Area before flying to the US, plus the extra "security" for US-bound flights at the gate.
