My question involves name change laws in the State of: TX
I have lived in London, UK for four years. I have transitioned here, Male to Female, and I have successfully changed my name and received my full validity US Passport (with correct name and gender marker). I am also in the process of getting an updated Social Security Card
I want to update my TX birth certificate to reflect my correct name and gender but the Texas department of records requires a court ordered name and gender change to do that. I have a Deed Poll (UK document of name change), a full validity US Passport, and a letter from my physician.
As I do not live in Texas, as far as I am aware I cannot get a Texas or US court to recognise my name and gender change because without residence, no-one has jurisdiction.
Does anyone know of a US court system for expatriates? I live in London, UK and simply need a 'US approved court' to order my name and gender marker change. I haven't found a way to get this at the federal level. When I contacted the consulate, they simply referred me to local UK solicitors.
So to sum up, how can I obtain a court order (from any state or US court) as an expatriate? I can technically prove Texas residence if needed through my parents. I have significantly changed both my first and last names.
Thank you in advance!
