Texas Doesn't Know Whether Trans Folk Are Male or Female, So It Allowed 2 Dykes to Marry

In 1999, Texas declared couples can only get married if one partner is male and one is female. In 2004 the state banned gay marriage. And then in 2009 the state insisted a post-operative transsexual's newly assigned gender overrides the gender stated on their birth certificate. So how'd the state handle a male-to-female transgender woman who wanted to marry her longtime girlfriend? They let them wed, but no one's sure if they should have.
