Is it illegal to use maiden name as middle name on DL?

Asked on Aug 21st, 2015 on General Practice - Texas
More details to this question:
My wife thinks she broke a law by putting her maiden name in place of her middle name on her drivers license.I guess it's been that way ever since we moved to Texas in 1975. She won't go sign up for Social Security because she's sure she's going to be arrested. PLEASE help me with this!

I'm  not familiar with the law in Texas, and it is possible that it is different than elsewhere, but basically you can call yourself anything you want, as long as you are not doing it for fraudulent purposes, e.g. to hide from creditors or to escape capture as a fugitive.
