Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Dr. May Lau, a pediatrician at UT Southwestern Medical Center, for allegedly violating state law by providing gender-transition treatments to minors, marking the first enforcement action under Senate Bill 14. This 2023 law bans the prescription of puberty blockers and hormones for minors' gender transition, and violations can lead to the revocation of medical licenses. Paxton accuses Lau of prescribing testosterone to 21 minors before the law took effect and claims she used false diagnoses and billing codes to mask these prescriptions. The lawsuit seeks over $1 million in damages and injunctions against Lau's practices, alleging that these actions endanger minors' health and violate the Texas Health & Safety Code. Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed this law, which was upheld by the state Supreme Court, reflecting ongoing legal and political battles over gender-affirming care in Republican-led states. Lau and UT Southwestern have not yet commented on the lawsuit.
