Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued a third doctor under the state’s transgender health care law, which bans medical providers from giving “gender transition” care to minors. Paxton’s office announced Friday that the attorney general is suing Dr.

This is the third Texas doctor to be sued by the Office of the Attorney General for allegedly violating a law prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors.

Paxton has sued as the state is "cracking down" on health care providers who allegedly violate the state's ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
