Name Change in TX

I just about pulled my hair out trying to get my TX driver's license to match my passport. Wouldn't you think a passport would trump a state requirement?
I have always been called by my middle name. My first name - Cathy - was in honour of my godmother (and the 1963 SWTSU homecoming queen! - Chi Omega). I wanted to get rid of it, and have what was my maiden middle name become my first name, use my maiden surname for my middle name, and then use my husband's last name. Fairly straight forward, I thought.
WRONG. TDPS said no. Even though the Federal govenment was more than happy to change my passport, I never could get TX to give me a license - had to move to TN to get my DL with my real name. I guess if I move back to TX it will be easier - they'll just take the name from my TN license.
