Judge blocks Texas from collecting info on transgender children receiving gender-affirming care
Updated 5:15 PM EST, March 1, 2024
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) A Texas judge on Friday temporarily blocked state Attorney General Ken Paxton from forcing an LGBTQ+ advocacy group to hand over information about transgender children receiving gender-affirming medical care.
The ruling came just one day after PFLAG National went to court to try to stop Paxtons office from getting the information.
Travis County District Court Judge Maria Cantú Hexsel said in an order that providing the information would harm PFLAG and its members in several ways, including violating their rights of free speech, association and protection from unreasonable searches. Additionally, the judge said, it would be a gross invasion of privacy.
A hearing was scheduled for March 25 to give the attorney generals office a chance to make the case for why Fridays order shouldnt continue.
