    "Chris Van Deusen, the spokesperson for  the Department of State Health Services  pointed to these same questions to explain  the agency's birth certificate policy change.  
"Recent public reports have highlighted  concerns about the validity of court orders  purporting to amend sex for purposes of  state-issued documents. DSHS is seeking  assistance from the Office of Attorney  General to determine the applicability of  these concerns to amendments to vital  records," Van Deusen told The Texas  Newsroom in a statement"
