On Tuesday, DPS stopped accepting court orders as a basis to change a person’s sex on their drivers license, the agency announced in a statement Wednesday evening. The change was prompted by the office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s concerns about “the validity” of court orders.
Employees are also instructed to “scan into the record” court orders or other documentation relating to the sex change request.It is not clear how that information will be used. Two years ago, Paxton directed employees at DPS to compile a list of individuals who had changed their gender on their Texas driver’s licenses and other department records.
The headline really fucking buried the lede here. Texas is secretly compiling a list of trans residents for unknown reasons, we only know this because of a whistleblower.
