Texas sues Children's Health and doctor over gender-care treatments for minors, alleging fraud and violation of state law.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Children's Health System of Texas and pediatric doctor Dr. Jason Jarin, alleging they provided gender-affirming care to minors and committed Medicaid fraud by billing state and federal programs for treatments like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
The suit, filed on February 18, 2026, claims the care violated Senate Bill 14, which bans most gender-transition treatments for minors after September 1, 2023, and accuses the defendants of falsifying records and altering patient gender designations to secure payments.
Paxton seeks over $1 million in penalties, calling the actions illegal and unethical.
Children's Health stated it complies with all laws and declined to comment due to ongoing litigation.
