PFLAG Sues Texas AG Over Demands for Trans Youth Records

The lawsuit challenges Ken Paxton's request for information on transgender support, marking a new chapter in the state's legal battles over gender-affirming care.

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.
