Texas Doctor Loses License for Prescribing Gender Transition Drugs to Minor

  • State medical board records show Dr. May Lau's Texas medical license was cancelled by request earlier this month, and attorney Craig Smyser said she decided to move her medical practice to Oregon.
  • Last October, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Lau under SB 14, alleging she prescribed testosterone to at least 21 patients ages 14 to 17 to transition their biological gender or affirm their gender identity.
  • The attorney general's complaint alleges specific record falsifications, with Paxton claiming Dr. May Lau falsified medical, prescription, and billing records for a 15-year-old patient, while Lau's legal defense team denies these politically-driven allegations and challenges venue.
  • The attorney general said his office will pursue the case further, with Paxton having sought $1 million in civil penalties and costs, calling Lau's surrender `a major victory for our state` on Friday.
  • Advocates and local groups say Lau's departure is part of a broader exodus, while some of Paxton's suits against Hector Granados and Brett Cooper were later dropped or found not to involve violations.
