TEXAS Statute: Tex Health & Safety Code Ann 192.011 (2004)
There is apparently no official policy change; there are areas of Texas where the officials are simply refusing to follow the listed procedure.
This has been occurring since Littleton v. Prange (1999) was decided by the Texas Supreme Court. At this time you may not be able to change your Texas birth certificate. Formerly, Texas would change both name and sex, and issue a new birth corticated rather than amend the old one.
You will need an original or certified copy of the court order for your name change and your sex change (court order for both), and an original letter from your SRS surgeon. You must enclose a copy of the old birth certificate, and specify exactly what you want changed. The fees are $15.00 to file, $15.00 for changing the information on the birth certificate, and $11.00 for each copy of the new birth certificate.
