Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against an El Paso doctor, Dr. Hector Granados, for allegedly providing gender-affirming medical care to minors in violation of state law. The lawsuit claims that Dr. Granados administered transition-related treatments to nearly two dozen children, some as young as twelve, which is illegal under Texas regulations. This marks the second such lawsuit by Paxton in recent weeks as part of a broader crackdown on doctors providing gender transition treatments to minors. The lawsuit details were confirmed through court filings and a press release from Paxton's office.
