My middle child practices before this judge from time to time and loves this judge. I got a text on this ruling while i was at the store
Greg Abbot, Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick are assholes who are seeking to use transgender youth as a political tool for support with the MAGA idiots. The attacks on these vulnerable children is sick and Greg, Ken and Dan will rot in hell for their stunts

A Travis County judge on Friday granted a narrow injunction against the state of Texas that will continue to block investigations of child abuse for two families who allowed their children to receive gender-affirming care.
The suit was brought by three Texas families and national LGBT advocacy group PFLAG in response to the Department of Family and Protective Services resuming the investigations this spring, after the Texas Supreme Court ruled it could in a similar but separate case.
The DFPS Rule was given the effect of a new law or new agency rule, despite no new legislation, regulation, or even valid agency policy, said Judge Amy Clark Meachum, a Democrat, in granting the injunction, which will last until the cases resolution.
Like another Travis County judge who granted a temporary restraining order that blocked the investigations into the plaintiff families, Meachum wrote in her ruling Friday that restarting the inquiries would cause immediate and irreparable injury to them.

And leave us the fuck alone, Abbutt, Paxton, Patrick, et al... Because you're the ones who need to be investigated for child abuse.
