State Attorney General Ken Paxton said child abuse investigations of parents who let their children medically transition genders will continue despite a court order halting them.
of families suspected of providing gender-affirming care to their children — and these investigations have been conducted outside the typical protocol for child abuse cases, according to attorneys who represent the families and the testimony of a Child Protective Services investigations supervisor. As of March 11, officials confirmed that nine such cases had been opened.
“They were lovely dinner guests,” Amber Briggle recalled. “They were very kind, they were very polite, they gave us their undivided attention. No one ever checked a cellphone or stepped away for a call. They never misgendered my son.” She exhaled. “Adam and I really thought, ‘We did it! We fixed it! We changed his mind!’ ”A spokesperson for Paxton did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Since then, they’ve remained in a state of unsettled suspension. There has been no word about their case since the injunction, which they thought would give them a momentary break, Briggle said, “a chance to catch our breath.”“But there is no relief,” added Adam Briggle. “It’s just a pause. It’s borrowed time.
he said it still wasn’t clear whether investigators had been directed to halt their work, in accordance with the judge’s order, or whether they intended to proceed, as Paxton had claimed they would.Tracy L. Harting, an attorney in Austin who represents two families who are under investigation, said she had similar trouble getting a clear answer on the status of her clients’ cases.
Like Briggle, L. believes the complaint against her originated with her and her son’s activism — they testified repeatedly before the state legislature in 2019 and 2021.
