Texas not allowing transgender people to use court orders to get sex changed on birth certificates
SUMMARY: Texas has halted the use of court orders for transgender individuals to change their sex on birth certificates, following a recent decision by the Department of Public Safety to stop accepting such orders for driver’s license updates. The Department of State Health Services is consulting the Attorney General‘s office on this matter. The ACLU of Texas expresses concern over the implications of these changes for the upcoming legislative session, predicting a surge of anti-transgender bills. However, the department will still allow sex changes to correct errors if accompanied by a hospital letter confirming the need for the adjustment.
DPS stopped accepting court orders for people who were trying to get it changed on driver licenses.
