PFLAG National, a LGBTQ+ advocacy organization, is suing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after receiving a request to turn over information regarding the work that the group does to assist families with transgender children and adolescents.
In a press release responding to the suit on Thursday, Paxton said the request is part of an investigation into whether gender-affirming care providers are violating laws such as committing insurance fraud by prescribing hormones for medical diagnoses not related to transitioning as a way to override new state law.
Although Paxton made claims regarding insurance fraud, his initial request on Friday, February 9, states that the agency was investigating PFLAG over allegations of not abiding by Texas’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
