For the transgender community, updating one's identification and other legal documents is an important and necessary step to achieving a complete transition. Finding the right resources to help transgender individuals navigate the Texas court system can be a challenge. Fortunately, Houston has a vibrant and supportive LGBTQ+ community, providing access to organizations such as the Montrose Center, which partners with the Trans Legal Aid Clinic to offer services to transgender individuals seeking to change their names and/or gender markers on their legal documents.
The Trans Legal Aid Clinic Houston will be hosting two virtual clinics next week on Thursday, November 19, at 6:00 pm and on Saturday, November 21, at 10:00 am. Additional details are available on the Clinic’s Facebook page, where you will also find a link to the Intake Form required for registration. All assistance is provided for free, and funds are available for those who need help in getting the proper documents needed to file.
