Transgender Texans are now prohibited from changing the sex on their driver’s license to match their gender identity, even with a certified court order or an amended birth certificate. Sheri Gipson, chief of the Texas Department of Public Safety's (DPS) driver’s license division, confirmed the policy change on Wednesday. Previously, DPS rules allowed individuals to alter the sex on their driver’s license if they could provide documentation of a clerical error, an amended birth certificate, or an original certified court record.
