The Texas Supreme Court allowed the state to investigate parents of transgender youth for child abuse while also ruling in favor of one family that was among the first contacted by child welfare officials following an order by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
The Texas Supreme Court on Friday allowed the state to investigate parents of transgender youth for child abuse while also ruling in favor of one family that was among the first contacted by child welfare officials following an order by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
A judge in Austin put that order on hold after a lawsuit brought on behalf of the 16-year-old girl whose family said the state was already investigating their family. It was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal. She became the target of CPS investigators after Gov. Abbott directed the agency to investigate all cases of gender affirming care as abuse.
While the court did rule there should no longer be injunctions protecting families, Pittman says based on Texas law that all of the investigations that focus solely on gender-affirming care should be closed. "They are putting the ones back on the agency to make that determination, which is the way it always was," he said.
