Texas SB406 mandates the inclusion of biological sex on birth certificates and prohibits changing the sex on the certificate for certain individuals.

Texas SB406 amends the Health and Safety Code to require birth certificates to include a space for recording the biological sex of a person as either male or female. It mandates that the biological sex of a child, as determined by sex organs, chromosomes, or endogenous profile, must be listed on the birth certificate. The bill prohibits changing the biological sex on a birth certificate unless it corrects a clerical error, completes information not previously listed, or addresses atypical or ambiguous sex organs, chromosomes, or endogenous profile.
