Texas Supreme Court Lifts Blocks on Gender-Affirming Care Investigations

The Texas Supreme Court lifted temporary injunctions that had halted child abuse investigations into families providing gender-affirming care. The ruling was procedural, not determining if such care is abuse, but cleared the path for the state to investigate new cases by citing that the original plaintiffs' cases were closed or the children reached adulthood. This impacts parental rights and state authority over medical decisions for minors.
