You can't add the same instance of one movie clip in two different containers. But you can create two similar txt_mc instances and add them to mc1 and mc2.

UPDATE: So, you can modify your createTxt function, so it will return new instance of txt_mc each time you call it. And add it to every container you want:

function createTxt(_no):MovieClip
{
    var txt_mc:movieClip=new MovieClip();
    var _sy = 0;
    for (var i=0; i<_no; i++)
    {
        var txt:TextField = new TextField();
        txt_fmt.size = _size;
        txt.defaultTextFormat = txt_fmt;
        //txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
        txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
        txt.selectable = false;
        txt.embedFonts = true;
        txt.x = 0;
        txt.y = _sy;
        _sy = _sy + 25;
        //txt.border = true
        txt.text = "Enter your text here";
        txt_mc.addChild(txt);
    }
    return txt_mc;
}

mc1.addChild(createTxt(3));
mc2.addChild(createTxt(3));
