The latest challenge, brought by Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union, seeks a new broad order against the investigations.
Three Texas families sued the state Wednesday seeking to halt investigations of them over gender-confirming medical treatments their transgender children received, in a renewed challenge to the state looking into such treatments as child abuse.
"If it takes a court ruling to ensure that the law protects families who lead with love in support of transgender Texans, so be it." Brian K. Bond, executive director of PFLAG National, said in a statement. A judge in March put that order on hold after a lawsuit brought on behalf of a 16-year-old girl whose family said it was under investigation. The Texas Supreme Court in May ruled that the lower court overstepped its authority by blocking all investigations going forward.
Wednesday's lawsuit in Texas was filed on behalf of families of three boys — two 16-year-olds and a 14-year-old — who have been receiving hormone therapy. In court filings, the families talked about the anxiety they've faced because of Texas' investigations.
