Texas Court Temporarily Blocks AG Paxton's Investigation of PFLAG
The injunction protects the privacy of transgender minors and their families seeking gender-affirming care.
- A Texas judge issued a temporary injunction preventing Attorney General Ken Paxton from demanding records from PFLAG, a nonprofit supporting transgender minors.
- The court ruling safeguards the privacy of PFLAG's members, including transgender minors and their families seeking gender-affirming care.
- PFLAG received civil demands from Paxton's office in February as part of an investigation into medical providers offering gender-affirming care despite a state ban.
- Legal representatives for PFLAG argue the state's demands harm the organization's mission and decrease membership and participation in Texas chapters.
- The trial on the merits of the case is scheduled for June 10, with PFLAG's legal victory seen as a significant step in protecting transgender minors' rights in Texas.
