Judge Reed O'Connor sided with Texas AG Paxton, blocking Biden's 2021 guidance expanding Title IX to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
O'Connor criticized Biden's administration for engaging in unlawful agency action and failing to follow proper procedures in attempting to extend Title IX protections.
The judge's ruling only applies to Texas, stating that allowing the guidance to stand would effectively rewrite Title IX, beyond the administration's authority.
AG Paxton lauded the decision as halting an 'extremist agenda,' alleging Biden's effort to enforce 'transgender' policies through Title IX was illegal and put women at risk.
