A state district judge on Friday granted a temporary halt into the investigations of families with transgender children who belong to one of the largest LGBTQ advocacy groups in the country.
Demonstrators gather on the steps to the state Capitol to speak against transgender-related legislation being considered by the Texas Legislature last year.
Paxton's opinion was followed by a directive from Abbott to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services"to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of any reported instances of these abusive procedures in the State of Texas.", which has 17 chapters in Texas and more than 400 across the country. In her decision, Meachum said the families who sued “state a valid cause of action” and “have a probable right to the declaratory and permanent injunctive relief they seek.
Lambda Legal, which is part of the legal team representing the families, said the ruling shows the court “grasped the magnitude” of harm the state’s Republican leadership could have continued to inflict on families with transgender members. Paxton’s office indicated to the plaintiffs’ families that it will appeal the decision, the Dallas Morning NewsLambda Legal added that the ruling includes the Briggle family, who was included in the investigations launched after Abbott’s directive.
