“Need total number of changes from male to female and female to male for the last 24 months, broken down by month,” the chief of the DPS driver license division emailed colleagues in the department on June 30, according to a copy of a message obtained by The Washington Post through a public records request. “We won’t need DL/ID numbers at first but may need to have them later if we are required to manually look up documents.”

After more than 16,000 such instances were identified, DPS officials determined that a manual search would be needed to determine the reason for the changes, DPS spokesperson Travis Considine told The Post in response to questions.

“Texas attorney general’s office sought state data on transgender Texans”

Good to hear - a VERY EFFECTIVE way to get out of DUIs. Thankfully our AG is not going to permit that.

Wait a minute. He asked for information. What’s so bad about that?

Like I said, How dare he?!!!!

Is it against the law for a person to change gender on a Texas driver license?

Texas has had Real ID requirements for about six years now.

Real ID requires a birth certificate and a couple other items.

Driver License renewals require the same, even if one already has Real ID.

Do not know how this tranny stuff works.

Falsifying government records is generally frowned upon.

From the Texas DPS website:

“To change your Address and Zip Code, Name or Gender on your driver license or ID card, you must apply for a replacement (also known as a duplicate) and pay the required fee.”

“If you want to change your gender, you must bring an original certified court order or an amended birth certificate verifying the change.”

Maybe if the male/female demographic changed in Texas, then the number of Boy/Girl public restrooms needs to change.

See, this is just proactive public service.
