A transgender woman vying for mayor of Amarillo is barred under state law from running under her chosen rather than legal name, officials said Wednesday.

That recently forced Sandra Dunn to withdraw her application for the city's top elected office and refile as F.E. (Sandra Dunn) Dunaway. That still might not meet the requirements of state law.

The election code requires her to use some form of her legal name, Fred E. Dunaway, though she can include a one-word, nonhyphenated nickname of not more than 10 letters, said secretary of state spokeswoman Jordy Keith.
