Texas judge halts 2 transgender child abuse probes
AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas judge on Friday temporarily halted the state’s child abuse investigations into two families with transgender children, agreeing they faced immediate harm.
Travis County District Court Judge Jan Soifer granted the families’ requests for a temporary restraining order after a virtual court hearing that lasted less than an hour. In a meaningful move, the families’ lawyers said the order extends to all members of the nonprofit advocacy group for allies of LGBTQ people known as PFLAG.
