Overview

• PFLAG National sues Texas AG Ken Paxton for demanding records on trans youths' support, alleging overreach and violation of rights.
• The lawsuit seeks to block Paxton's request, citing it as part of Texas' efforts to restrict access to gender-affirming care for minors.
• Paxton's office is accused of using state consumer protection law to justify demands, which PFLAG argues is inappropriate.
• Texas has a history of legal battles over gender-affirming care, including investigating families of trans children as child abuse cases.
• The demand for records follows Texas' ban on gender-affirming care for minors, part of a broader trend in at least 23 states.
