Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing a North Texas doctor for allegedly providing gender-affirming care to nearly two dozen patients after the state’s ban took effect last September.
In the suit announced Wednesday, Paxton claims that Dr. May Lau, Children’s Medical Center Dallas’ adolescent and young adult clinic medical director and a professor at UT Southwestern, violated Senate Bill 14 by prescribing testosterone to 21 patients after the law took effect Sept. 1, 2023.
The 35-page suit accuses Lau of writing prescriptions either after the law took effect or writing them with orders to refill prescriptions after the law took effect. It refers to Lau as a "scofflaw" and "radical gender activist," and maintains that each violation is a separate ground for the revocation of her license.
