Texas Department of Public Safety will no longer accept a court order as a basis to change a person’s sex on their license.

The new policy was prompted by the office of the Attorney General Ken Paxton , who issued an email last week .

The email circulated throughout the agency, which KUT News obtained from an anonymous source, instructed employees to put a hold on sex marker changes.

The DPS website previously provided information on how Texans could change their “ Address and Zip Code , Name or Gender” on their driver’s license.

Razavi worries too about the implications for his personal and professional life.

“This is what Ken Paxton wants. He wants people to be their gender [assigned at birth],” said Razavi .
