"Paxton's suit against Granados accused the doctor of being a "scofflaw who is harming the health and safety of Texas children by providing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children for the purpose of transitioning their biological sex or affirming their belief that their gender identity or sex is inconsistent with their biological sex in violation of [the ban] and falsifying medical records, prescriptions, and billing records to intentionally conceal the unlawful conduct," which he also pushed in a press release."
"Granados told the outlet that he stopped prescribing puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy to trans youth in compliance with the state's 2023 law that banned the care for trans minors, but that he continued to prescribe it for cisgender youth with other conditions, such as endocrine disorders. He said that Paxton never contacted him before filing the suit, though he wishes he would have."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton withdrew his lawsuit against El Paso pediatrician Hector Granados after a review concluded "no legal violations were found" in Granados' medical records. Granados stopped prescribing puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy to transgender minors in compliance with the state's 2023 ban but continued such treatments for cisgender patients with endocrine or congenital conditions. Granados said Paxton did not contact him before filing the suit and described the action as personally taxing. Paxton's original complaint accused Granados of providing transition-related hormones and falsifying records; those accusations have not been publicly rescinded. House Bill 3399 allows the Texas Medical Board to revoke licenses for violations.
