Harris County, August 2, 2016
On August 2, 2016, the 14th Court of Appeals upheld a trial court's decision to deny a request for a gender designation change.
This is similar to another case where a petition for gender marker change denied by trials court and upheld on appeal, petitioner's counsel had asserted that Texas Family Code Section 2.005 (b)(8) authorizes Texas courts to render sex change orders that judicially change a person's gender identifier. See that case for details.
