Seattle Children's Hospital sued Texas AG's office to block a subpoena demanding records of Texas patients receiving gender-affirming care, which Paxton believed violated Texas laws banning such treatments for minors.
Washington state hospital argued in lawsuit that Paxton lacked jurisdiction, as gender-affirming care for minors is legal in Washington and the hospital doesn't provide such care to Texas residents.
Hospital mentioned Washington's 'shield law' preventing disclosure of records related to lawful health care services to out-of-state officials, labeling Paxton's demands as unconstitutional.
