BREAKING” Texas Court enjoins SB 14, aka trans health care ban
The 201st Judicial District Court of Travis County has just granted an injunction pausing the state’s newly-passed medical care ban targeting transgender youth.
The Texas district court announced the decision this afternoon (Friday, Aug, 25) following a hearing last week on Senate Bill 14.
The Texas Attorney General’s office is expected to appeal the injunction, and if it does, attorneys for the plaintiffs said today they will “seek emergency relief from the appellate courts.” Lambda Legal Senior Counsel Paul D.
Castillo said, “We are elated by the court’s ruling, which strikes a blow against this outrageous attempt to ban necessary and often life-saving medical care for Texas’ transgender youth, cut off access to medical care for adolescents already receiving treatment, and require the state to revoke the medical licenses of physicians providing the best standard of care to their transgender patients.
