The Texas Supreme Court reversed the statewide halt on investigations into parents who provide gender-affirming care to their transgender children on Friday.
A record number of anti-transgender bills have been introduced in state legislatures in 2021, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
The court did not rule whether such investigations violate the families' rights or not -- that is still up to lower courts.Eric Gay/AP, FILE Paxton attacked gender-affirming care for LGBTQ youth, saying that his opinion"comes at a critical time" when"Texans are seeing the horrors that flow from the merging of medicine and misguided ideology."
The state Supreme Court said that neither the governor's letter nor the attorney general's opinion changed the legal obligations of the DFPS and have no authority over the state agency. Gov. Abbott was dismissed from the case, because the court states he has no authority over such investigations.
