Texas Judge Halts AG's Attempt to Obtain Transgender Youth Records

A Texas judge has temporarily blocked the state's attorney general from obtaining information about transgender children receiving gender-affirming medical care, citing potential harm to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group PFLAG and its members, including violations of free speech, association, and privacy rights. The attorney general's office had sought the information as part of an investigation into potential insurance fraud related to the state's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. The legal battle is ongoing, with a hearing scheduled for March 25.
