Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a legal opinion Friday arguing state agencies should no longer follow court orders allowing transgender Texans to change their sex on a driver's license or birth certificate.

State agencies should not honor court orders to change the sex on someone’s driver’s license or birth certificate, according to an opinion filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Friday.

The Texas Department of Public Safety requested the opinion in September, about a month after it stopped accepting court orders to change gender markers on driver’s licenses. The Department of State Health Services also stopped allowing gender changes on birth certificates unless the hospital made an error.
