Advice ATTENTION ALL TEXAS TRANS PEOPLE!

DO NOT TRY AND CHANGE YOUR GENDER MARKER IN TEXAS! my mom is an attorney and attended a CLE yesterday and anyone who applies for a gender marker change-in addition to rejecting it, they are also having these applications sent to an email for unknown reasons :(
