AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Travis County judge made a decision Monday to keep blocking Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from investigating an LGBTQ+ nonprofit that provides support to families with transgender children.

Judge Amy Clark Meachum issued a temporary injunction saying PFLAG Inc. would suffer “immediate and irreparable injury” if the organization had to hand over information with potentially sensitive information that identified its members to Paxton’s office. She also set a trial date for the case on June 10, signaling Monday that PFLAG “would likely prevail” at that time.

PFLAG received two civil investigative demands on Feb. 9 from the Attorney General’s Office to turn over documents, communications and information related to its work helping families in Texas with transgender children. Attorneys from the state said in court Monday these requests are related to an insurance fraud investigation they’re conducting into medical providers offering transition-related health care to minors despite Senate Bill 14, which banned it last year as an option in the state.

Another judge previously issued a temporary restraining order related to this matter.

The lawyers representing PFLAG argued in court they believed these investigative demands are “retaliation” for the organization being involved in two other lawsuits against the state, which are both currently on hold. Those are over Gov. Greg Abbott’s order for the state to investigate families with transgender kids for child abuse and the law that bans gender-affirming care for minors.

Attorneys from Paxton’s office said these civil demands are “not end-runs” to get information for these two other lawsuits. They even said they’re modifying their requests to specify their office does not want any membership lists or membership information from PFLAG. However, Judge Meachum still granted the temporary injunction.

The PFLAG lawyers said in court Monday these requests, though, had a “chilling effect” on how it operates in Texas. Aaron Ridings, an executive vice president for PFLAG, testified that the nonprofit already suffered a loss in volunteers and experienced a decrease in in-person meetings for its support groups throughout the state.

“They are concerned about being on the attorney general’s radar,” Ridings told Paxton’s lawyers during cross-examination.

After the hearing Monday, Lynley Egyes, the legal director for the Transgender Law Center, added, “This fear is having a real impact on people’s lives. People are scared to show up to meetings. People are scared to sign in and have their name in front of the Attorney General’s office, but luckily today we don’t have to worry about that, thankfully, with the temporary injunction that was granted.”

KXAN reached out Monday to Paxton’s office seeking further comment about the judge’s decision to block his investigation, and so far no response has been shared.
