Texas AG Files Lawsuit Against Second Doctor for Gender-Affirming Care

Attorney General Ken Paxton accuses Dr. Hector Granados of violating state law by providing medical treatments to transgender minors.

Dr. Hector Granados is accused of prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to 21 minors in El Paso.
The lawsuit claims Granados falsified medical records to justify treatments under Texas's Senate Bill 14 ban.
This is the second lawsuit filed by Paxton targeting doctors for gender-affirming care in Texas this month.
Doctors found guilty of violating the law risk losing their medical licenses and face significant financial penalties.
Major medical organizations advocate for gender-affirming care as necessary, but Texas law restricts such treatments for minors.
