Two women marry, legally, in California. One spouse takes the other's name, automatically, legally, no fuss, no muss. The change of name was recorded on her California drivers license and on her US social security card.<\/p>\n

But, on moving to Texas, she finds she cannot get a Texas<\/i> drivers license because, well, her birth certificate has her birth name on it and, by golly, all those social security and previous drivers license cards don't count for ID because that would mean Texas was "recognizing" one of those evil gay "marriage" things.<\/p>\n

Unless she wants to spend $500 and bring it before a judge and hope that said judge thinks her desire to change her name is legit, and isn't somehow part of some Evil Un-Biblical Gay Plot.<\/p>\n

Dear Texas: recognizing the name that someone brings to your state, as previously established by the federal government and the state that she formerly resided in, is not somehow going to cover you with gay cooties, let alone represent your moral approval of two women being legally wed. But failing to recognize it will probably be a great way of getting your current state constitutional amendment struck down.<\/p>\n

Texas is refusing to recognize name changes due to same-sex marriages.
An out-of-state marriage certificate isn't considered sufficient ID.<\/p>\n

You can go spend $500 and see if a judge will agree to change your last name from Smith to Smith, but you can't just show them the marriage certificate they accept for all other couples.<\/p>\n

I don't see any way that's going to stand up in court. If a California citizen legally changed their name in California, then I've got to believe Texas has to recognize the name change. But they'll fight it all the way I'm sure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
