The investigation into Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston comes as a bill banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth is sent to the governor’s desk.
Attorney General Ken Paxton wants Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston to produce documents relating to the use of puberty blockers, gender-affirming counseling, internal policies for the use of gender-affirming care and any communications with outside medical groups about such care.
“Recent reports indicate that Texas Children’s Hospital may be unlawfully performing such procedures, and my office is working to uncover the truth,” Paxton said in a statement. “I am committed to investigating any entity in our state to ensure that our children are protected.” Texas Children’s responded to the investigation announcement by saying the institution’s mission is to provide high-quality care to all of its patients.
