US EditionTexas drops lawsuit against doctor accused of illegally providing care to transgender youth
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton dropped the lawsuit against pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Hector Granados after a thorough evidence review found no violations of the 2022 Senate Bill 14.
- Last week, the legal team representing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton dropped its lawsuit against Dr. Hector Granados, who had been accused of unlawfully administering gender-affirming treatments to transgender minors.
- The lawsuit followed 2023 bans on gender-affirming care for minors, with the Supreme Court ruling in June that states can restrict such treatments, and over 27 states enacting similar laws.
- Paxton’s office called Granados a scofflaw who harmed Texas children, but after reviewing evidence and Granados’ full medical records, found no legal violations warranting dismissal of the case.
- Peter Salib, a law professor, remarked that it is rare for a state to dismiss a lawsuit after concluding there were no legal breaches, while Granados expressed relief at the lawsuit’s end and noted he had already stopped providing gender-affirming care prior to the ban.
- Despite withdrawing the suit against Granados, Paxton vowed to continue legal actions against similar medical professionals accused of undermining Texas’ gender-affirming care ban for minors.
