In a legal opinion issued Friday, Attorney General Ken Paxton ordered state agencies to "immediately correct" birth certificates or driver's licenses.

In a written opinion issued Friday, Attorney General Ken Paxton questioned the validity of court orders directing state agencies to change a person’s biological sex on driver’s licenses, birth certificates and other identification documents.

Per the attorney general’s nonbinding opinion, state agencies should change gender markers on government documents back to a person’s sex assigned at birth.
