On Monday, legal advocates will urge the Travis County District Court to grant a temporary injunction blocking the Texas Attorney General’s Office’s latest effort targeting transgender Texans – its demand that PFLAG National turn over information and documents about its support of families in Texas seeking gender-affirming medical care for their transgender youth. The oral argument, scheduled for Monday, March 25, 2024, may be live-streamed (YouTube).
Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, the ACLU, and Transgender Law Center, who earlier secured a temporary restraining order on PFLAG National’s behalf, on Monday will ask the court to issue an injunction blocking the Attorney General’s investigative demands while the legal advocates pursue their challenge in court.
