Sheri Gipson, the chief of the Driver License Division at the Texas Department of Public Safety, confirmed the change, stating that the validity of court orders to change gender markers is under legal review.
A spokesperson mentioned that the Office of the Attorney General raised concerns regarding court orders for changing gender markers, emphasizing that DPS has put a hold on accepting these orders.
As a result of this policy shift, vulnerable Texans are now at a heightened risk of harassment and discrimination, affecting individuals in various social and professional settings.
Brad Pritchett from Equality Texas highlighted that individuals are effectively being denied the ability to align their identification with their gender identity, which is a fundamental aspect of personal recognition.
