Breaking: The Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state's child welfare agency can continue investigating families that provide gender-affirming care to their kids. But it also questioned why the state started the investigations in the first place.
In February, Paxton issued a nonbinding legal opinion that equated certain medical treatments and procedures for transgender teens with child abuse. Abbott, citing that opinion, thento DFPS directing the agency to investigate parents who provided gender-affirming care to their transgender children.
The ruling does note the myriad “informal mechanisms” through which elected officials can influence a state agency, but “ultimately, however, one department or another has the final say.” He then petitioned the Supreme Court of Texas to review that appeal. In Friday’s ruling, the high court agreed with Paxton that the appeals court overstepped — while the appeals court can reinstate an injunction if it “preserves the parties’ rights,” they cannot reinstate a temporary injunction of any nature.
