   Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed the state's first lawsuit   
   against a doctor under a law banning gender-affirming care for minors.   
      
   Paxton is accusing Dr. May Lau, a pediatrician at the University of Texas   
   Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, of providing gender-transitioning   
   treatments and falsifying medical records and prescriptions to do it.   
      
   The lawsuit claims Lau prescribed testosterone to at least 21 patients   
   between the ages of 14 and 17.   
      
   It also accuses Lau of putting a puberty-blocking device into a 15-year-   
   old and falsely billed the patient's insurance for an endocrine disorder   
   instead of gender dysmorphia.   
      
   The filing is Paxton's first attempt to sue a doctor under Senate Bill 14,   
   which passed in 2023.   
      
   The law prevents doctors from prescribing hormones and other gender-   
   affirming care to minors.   
      
   "Texas passed a law to protect children from these dangerous unscientific   
   medical interventions that have irreversible and damaging effects," Paxton   
   said in a statement. "Doctors who continue to provide these harmful   
   ‘gender transition’ drugs and treatments will be prosecuted to the full   
   extent of the law."   
      
   If Lau is found guilty, her medical license could be revoked.   
      
   Paxton is also asking for $1 million, plus civil penalties.
