Texas Judge Halts AG's Demand for Info on Transgender Youth

The temporary order protects privacy and free speech rights, with a hearing set for March 25 to determine its continuation.

A Texas judge temporarily blocked the state Attorney General from demanding information on transgender children receiving gender-affirming care.
The ruling protects PFLAG National and its members from having to hand over sensitive information, citing violations of free speech, association, and privacy.
A hearing is scheduled for March 25 to discuss the continuation of the order.
The ACLU, representing PFLAG, seeks a permanent block on the demand.
The demand for information is part of a broader investigation into whether medical providers are committing insurance fraud to circumvent a ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
