A new Department of Public Safety policy will only allow Texans to change the sex listed on their license to fix a clerical error. The Department of Public Safety has rolled out a new policy that stops gender-confused individuals from changing the sex on their driver’s license.
The email announcing the policy, sent out by Gipson, stated, “Effective immediately, August 20, 2024, the Department will not accept court orders or amended birth certificates issued that change the sex when it differs from documentation already on file.”
“For current DL/ID holders, the sex established at the time of original application and listed in the driver record will not be changed unless there was a clerical error. The sex will reflect the sex listed on the primary document presented upon original application that is already on file,” Gipson’s email continued. “If a first-time applicant presents conflicting documents, such as a birth certificate with a court order requiring a sex change, the sex listed on the original birth certificate will take precedence to record the sex.”
