Texas Supreme Court allows child abuse investigations into families of transgender teens to continue

In February, Paxton issued a nonbinding legal opinion that equated certain medical treatments and procedures for transgender teens with child abuse. Abbott, citing that opinion, thento DFPS directing the agency to investigate parents who provided gender-affirming care to their transgender children.

The ruling does note the myriad “informal mechanisms” through which elected officials can influence a state agency, but “ultimately, however, one department or another has the final say.” He then petitioned the Supreme Court of Texas to review that appeal. In Friday’s ruling, the high court agreed with Paxton that the appeals court overstepped — while the appeals court can reinstate an injunction if it “preserves the parties’ rights,” they cannot reinstate a temporary injunction of any nature.

I still find it hard to believe that adults can put kids under the knife for 'gender affirming surgeries'. I just can't wrap my head around it.

Well that's confusing

Preventing child abuse

So this is the part of small government?

Then we should probably begin investigating any couple who decide to circumcise their newborns. Thos kids aren't old enough to make that type of life altering decision.

Sure, strike it down on a procedural technicality, muse out loud why the state agency would even do this…bottom line is DFPS better quit taking so called “orders “from GovAbbott! Oh and vote them all vote in November

That makes no sense.

'We don't know why you did this, but go on ahead.' Texas supreme court is a real piece of work.

Redirect caseworkers away from actual physical and sexual abuse This is Pro-Abuse!!!

Judges that pass down conflicting rulings like this should be removed.

State-sponsored terrorism.

That makes zero sense.

What kind of miserable POS state do you people live in!!!!! Sane people should get the hell out. And judges wonder why no one trusts the court systems

Oh, that makes total sense. Way to go, Texas. Are you ready to flip this state yet? Start by voting next week in the Dem runoff. CollierForTexas JaworskiForTX
