Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated a second investigation into a children’s hospital in the state, this time targeting Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether the hospital is engaged in illegal activities by performing gender transitioning procedures on children. While Attorney General Paxton did not specify the exact laws that may have been violated, he stated that any procedures causing harm to children would be considered child abuse under Texas law.

The investigation was prompted by recent reports suggesting that Texas Children’s Hospital may be unlawfully providing gender transitioning procedures. Attorney General Paxton expressed his commitment to uncovering the truth and ensuring the protection of children in the state. The announcement did not specify the source of the reports, but there are circulating articles online regarding the hospital’s alleged continued provision of such care.

This investigation highlights the ongoing debates and legal scrutiny surrounding gender transitioning procedures for minors, with officials seeking to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The Texas Children’s Hospital is the biggest children’s hospital in the US by bed size.
