A trans woman who was born male and her longtime girlfriend were legally married Monday in San Antonio after previously being denied a marriage license in El Paso, prompting the county attorney to ask Texas's attorney general for clarification on the state's marriage laws.

Sabrina J. Hill, 60, was born male and is listed as male on her birth certificate, which allowed her to marry her girlfriend Therese "Tee" Bur. Texas identifies marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
