transgender care doctor lawsuit dropped texas.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office says one of the first doctors in the U.S. accused of illegally providing care to transgender youth under GOP-led bans was found not to have broken the law. This comes nearly a year after a state lawsuit called the pediatric endocrinologist in El Paso a “scofflaw” who harmed children. Dr. Hector Granados had been accused of falsifying medical records and violating a Texas ban that took effect in 2023. Paxton’s office quietly withdrew its lawsuit against Granados last week. It said in a statement that “no legal violations were found.”
