Update (3/22/21): An appeals court in Texas has reinstated a temporary injunction barring the state from investigating families of trans youth receiving gender-affirming care. The ruling came after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton signaled that he would ignore the court ruling ordering the state to stop investigating the families.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), ACLU of Texas, and Lambda Legal are mounting a legal fight against Texas after at least one family said investigators have been targeting them as part of the state’s new plan to probe parents of children receiving gender-affirming care.
