Texas 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.
- The lawsuit filed last year by Texas’ top legal authority against Dr. Hector Granados, accusing him of providing prohibited care to transgender minors, was withdrawn last week after a review found no legal wrongdoing.
- The lawsuit, filed nearly a year earlier, accused Granados of falsifying records and violating the state ban that took effect in 2023.
- The doctor from El Paso specializing in pediatric endocrinology carefully stopped providing gender-affirming treatments to young patients prior to the implementation of the state ban, while continuing to prescribe puberty blockers for other medical conditions unrelated to gender transition.
- Paxton's office announced the lawsuit against Granados was dropped following a thorough examination of all evidence and medical records, while legal expert Peter Salib described the decision to dismiss the case as uncommon.
- Although the lawsuit ended, Paxton vows to continue pursuing other medical professionals accused of harming Texas children under gender-affirming care bans.
